The atmosphere is electric. Also we have more miles of canals than Venice. So much more to do and see in Brum. I hope you’ll be back soon?

I live in the midlands and have seen the change of Birmingham city centre for many years. The recent changes, the improvements of the tram network, the new stone flooring, the cycling network and pedestrian areas, the general cleanliness have really improved the vibe of the centre. It is such a nice place to go to for a day out. I would like to see encouragement for smaller independent shops that could add variety to the shopping experience as the big brands gets a bit old. I loved Edinburgh for this, loads of little shops to get lost in. Better integration and network of cycling infrastructure would be good. Make cycle network actually go somewhere and make it safer and easier to get around the city. If the cycle network could be made safe for children to cycle with their parents into the city then others will follow and some might even decide (if they can) to leave the car at home. Birmingham is heading in the right direction. 👍👍😊

You might seem to like the Birmingham Clean Air Zone but a lot of Brummies hate it as they can't afford a new car and Bus services in parts of Birmingham are rubbish with people walking a mile from the bus stop to their home, it isn't the best thing either a the A38 trunk route that goes through Birmingham is affected and to be precise the air isn't that much different.

If you want to see what poor public transport looks like, try living in Devon, there is no comparison. Back then the jewelry quarter, Curzon St area and Digbeth were seperate areas that you couldnt walk to, the roads were just crammed and the underpasses were too dangerous to use, especially at night, I dont think you realise just how much better it is now

@@vaughanbbrean71 So you do not actually live in Birmingham like I do, I have lived in Birmingham since 1955 and yes Birmingham had a load of traffic in the City Center but it still was not that bad compared to what it was like in the early 1960's with smogs, and it vastly improved with the clean air act, The areas you describe now are pedestrian areas with no motor vehicles allowed, Corporation street is a tram line only except for delivery vehicles, the canals have now been cleaned up and are visitor attractions with the ICC, the Jewellery Quarter is now a fashionable area and tourist attraction, Curzon street has been demolished and is being rebuilt as the new HS2 Rail terminal and the whole of Digbeth along with a new Coach Station is now being redeveloped incorporating a new BBC TV Studios and Film producing Studios and since Covid for the UK's Second largest City bus services have deteriated, so unlike London with its Clean air and congestion charge having a realy good Bus, Tube and Rail transport System Birmingham City Council is forcing people to get rid of perfectly good cars such as 14 plated Diesel cars expecting them to buy a new car or use non existent Bus Services. You a typical of loads of people that pull Birmingham to pieces by looking at Birmingham of the past, and either not living or visited Birmingham lately and if you did you would see the difference as the New Birmingham looks nothing like Birmingham of the 1970's

Birmingham was heavily bombed and very industrial into the 50’s - in the 60’s there was a lot of terrible rebuilding with awful buildings and destruction.

Four days they bombed the city, and the city was gone. Cities not people and not hiding in the entrance during a rainstorm.

@@Richcanvas Greater Manchester and the City of Manchester are two totaly different things, the City of Manchester has been arround for Centuries and as the title say's it is a City, but Greater Manchester is not a City so can not claim to be in any postion as a City, it is just a Metropolitan County Council set up in the 1970's along with the West Midlands, Mersey Side, Greater Glasgow , Greater London, South and North Yorkshire to look after Police, Fire, Ambulance, Certain Roads and Transport in the areas and does not tax public taxes, a few strange things happened when they were being set up, the West Midlands Metro Council equivelent to Greater Manchester was going to be named Greater Birmingham but a number of Black Country towns and later Coventry did not like the idea so it was renamed the West Midlands Metropolitan County, in Manchester the Metro Council was going to be called South East Lancashire and North East Cheshire hence why the buses run in the area were called SELNEC, but both Lancashire and Cheshire County Councils complained about the name so it was renamed Greater Manchester with the Buses run by this Metro Council still running for a while as SELNEC but later renamed Greater Manchester Transport and the only connection between Greater Manchester and the City of Manchester is the word "MANCHESTER" that is all and as I mentioned Greater Manchester is not a City so only the City of Manchester can rank as a City officially

What absolutely rubbish, Birmingham for it’s size and population is one of the safest in the UK… it also has some very beautiful and chilled neighbourhoods, very safe, lots have independent bar’s/restaurants and parks… I’m out and about at night all the time taking pictures/videos not one problem yet, I can’t say the same when I was in Manchester or even London… Stop with the now boring and old stereotypes, Brum is a very welcoming and cosmopolitan city with always lots to see and do

I disagree with you, Mark. I’d be interested to know what part of Brum you lived in? My life and experiences in Brum are obviously a lot different to yours. I love London, but there’s certain subs I would never live in and there’s defo subs in Brum that I wouldn’t choose to live in also. It’s swings and roundabouts.
