20-year vision for Digbeth

PROSPECTUS UNVEILS EXCITING NEW PLAN IN BID TO ATTRACT PRIVATE INVESTMENTS

- JANE HAYNES

A FRESH vision of Birmingham by 2045 has been unveiled by city council chiefs, with the city centre, Digbeth and the area out to Bordesley Green and beyond 'transformed' with major new developments.

Exciting artists' impressions of the city were produced for a prospectus aimed at developers and potential investors and shows the scale of the ambition of city leaders.

It is backed up with a defiant message to urge residents to have faith in a bright future, despite the 'negativity' of headlines about the ongoing bin strike and the council's financial distress.

The stunning image is the centre-piece of a new Digbeth Prospectus unveiled by the city council's managing director Joanne Roney at an international conference.
