BIRMINGHAM

The UK's Second City

Overview

A young, dynamic city undergoing the largest urban transformation in Europe.

Birmingham is the youngest major city in Europe, with under-25s making up nearly 40% of the population. The city centre is home to the £1.9B Paradise development, the £1.5B Smithfield masterplan, and the upcoming HS2 terminus at Curzon Street.

By 2030, HS2 will cut journey times to London to just 49 minutes — driving capital growth across central residential zones.
