Birmingham Today
In today's Birmingham there is redevelopment everywhere you look. The infamous Bull Ring shopping area has been demolished and in its place stands a brand new complex re-built at a cost of £800 million. Its completion created around 8000 jobs and 1.2 million square feet of retail space. The Millennium Point project nearby, is on a 12-acre site. It features an interactive science and technology based museum for the 21st century. Digbeth is being completely re-structured in a massive building project costing millions. All over the city there is an exciting hustle and bustle of movement and change. The former Birmingham Children's hospital at Edgbaston Five Ways has been transformed into a mixed leisure, retail and commercial development.

This however is only part of the story. The old jewellery quarter is also being modernised. Inner city transport facilities are being re-structured. A new coach station is promised and the city changes on an almost daily basis. The largest cinema complex in Europe at Star City provides themed restaurants, bars and family entertainment on the outskirts of the city. Fort Dunlop, having stood derelict for years has been transformed into a new £42 million prestigious lifestyle complex with homes, shops, restaurants and visitor attractions. It's glasshouse top will light the night sky.
