Original Document
Birmingham should be an imaginative and ambitious city and a natural choice for major events. The city should aim to host at least one additional major international event within the plan period, such as an international Expo, successful Year of Culture/Architecture bid, or world sporting championship to galvanise action in the city.
Plain English Translation
We think that Birmingham should be an imaginative and ambitious city and a place that people would choose to hold big events. We should aim to host at least one extra big international event with the plan period (20 years), such as an international Expo (a large-scale public exhibition), winning and holding a Year of Culture or Architecture, or a world sports championship to encourage action in the city.
