The Games represent a once-in-a-generation opportunity to:
- grow the economy

- strengthen connectivity
- foster more inclusive communities through sport.
Elevate 2042 is the shared 20-year vision for a lasting Games legacy, developed through contributions from thousands of people representing diverse backgrounds.
