Case study - Core Cities

Collaboration on shared goals

Core Cities UK, an advocacy group representing the ten largest cities outside of London (including Birmingham), worked together to create a series of ‘asks’ that each will need from Central Government to meet the climate challenge:

  • £1bn Low Carbon City Investment Fund to support and accelerate high impact green projects.
  • £1bn Clean Air Fund to support the delivery of clean air zones, estimated to be worth £6.5bn to the economy.
  • Tax and incentives to boost and encourage investment in low carbon enterprises.
  • A target of 2025 for net-zero buildings to minimise the impact of the millions of homes which the Core Cities will be required to build.
  • Whole Building Retrofit fund of at least £1bn a year to enable all homes to have a whole-house efficiency treatment by 2035, focussing on those in fuel poverty first with a ‘able to pay’ initiative for wealthier households.
  • Investment in transport infrastructure to reduce road congestion.
