Britain's second largest city is poised for a major transformation following the government's
00:06
pledge to invest £2.4 billion in transport links across the region. At the heart of this funding
00:13
package is a proposed extension to Birmingham's Metro tram system linking the city centre with the
00:21
HS2 terminal at Curzon Street and continuing out to a new sports quarter. Now led by Birmingham
00:29
City Football Club owners Nighthead Capital. The sports quarter is a multi-billion pound
00:35
redevelopment plan anchored by a brand new stadium. Expected to seat 62,000 fans the new ground
00:43
would become one of the largest in the country. The wider development includes community sports
00:48
pitches, a club museum, public green space and a hotel complex bringing long-term regeneration
00:56
benefits to East Birmingham. Now local authorities say the new tram line is essential for connecting
01:04
the area to the wider region, ensuring smooth access for match day crowds and creating better
01:10
links for nearby residents. Routes will also serve Digbeth, the Bullring and eventually Birmingham
01:17
Airport. Supporters of the scheme believe it could unlock as much as £10 billion in future private
01:25
investment. If completed as planned, the Metro extension could play a major role in shifting long-term
01:33
investments and jobs towards some of the city's most disadvantaged areas, delivering what's been
01:39
described as a generational economic opportunity.
