I am most certain all the planning permissions are in place, obtained through the local authorities. Some bet, others invest .

well if you actually look at various clips of Birmingham City Center you will see the following; At 0:48 the shot shows 12 high rise buildings At 1:59 the shot shows 14 high rise buildings At 2:03 the shot shows 18 high rise buildings As the drone flies around panning out pictures of the City different views appear showing the high Rise Buildings in Birmingham and as the drone is pretty high up these buildings seem smaller than they actually are due to height and distance from these Buildings and since these shots were taken more high rise buildings have been completed in the City Center plus 5 new skyscraper's are in various states of building in 2922

@@peterwilliamallen1063 but we need a skyline like london

With regards you saying the city needs higher density building, it has just been announced by Birmingham City Council, that , over the next 20 years, they are going to spend £2.2 bn on flattening the Ladywood estate, which borders on to the city centre, and totally rebuild it, increasing the population of the area four fold. Taking the current est. 7000 residents to over 25 000, and they say they intend to build up, not out. They intend to build and develop on all the parkland on the estate, so virtually no greenery anymore..Just concrete. Welcome back to the post WW2 nightmare of flats.

@@davem9208 by thy I mean like offices, hotels, ect not bloody flats Birmingham has many of those Birmingham also needs more houses

I see that in the city centre, there is a development underway called the Octogan Residential Building, planned at 155m high, with 47 floors, but it seems all apartments and no trade. A main selling point of it seems to be all round, equal view from any window on any floor, but looking at the images, based on other nearby planned developments, were you to be on the south or south east side, up to about the 15th floor, you would be right up against other buildings planned to be nearby. Possibly not the best of adverts for it. I have often driven past this building site, unaware of what it was. So the next time I go up Great Charles St, I might pay more attention to it. @@hareshgill8994

it's not a competition

True its not a nice city it is a dump full of crime , depression and not enough development the people in Birmingham are very backwards and not progressive at all.

Horrible

Birmingham is loads of English and chavs segregated city .

you can't even spell it!

Birmingham is a racist segregated dump.

@@jerryn8520 Miss Buenos Aires, Of Course Birmingham is full of English, it is an English city.

Typical Indian bor appearing to hate on Pakistan. This video is about the development of a major international city, not about the brainwashing that has been taught in India

Where did you get that idea from, Sarah Femi you are a very sad person and know nothing of Birmingham, if we are that bad how is it that the Industrial revolution of Building industry started in Birmingham, we have the top NHS Hospital for Heart surgery, Cancer and organ Transplants at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital Birmingham and some of the top Universities.

Why, are you gelouse, it seems you have never visited Birmingham mate, so If you have never seen the City centre in the flesh keep your comments to your self.

@@peterwilliamallen1063 Jealous

@@jamesbovington8218 Grow up Jealous of what, again you are talking crap !! You are comparing Birmingham of 1960 to Birmingham of 2021, to different Cities mate, as i said you do not live in the midlands or you would not come up with such rubbish.

@@peterwilliamallen1063 Simply pointing out that your post above spells jealous wrongly. (Why, are you gelouse, it seems you have never visited Birmingham mate). You seem to lack a sense of humour. For what it's worth Peter Feltham hits the nail on the head. But the same applies to most British cities including Leeds.

@@jamesbovington8218 So what, spell check supposed to pick things up so spell check is crap then, but as I said you have not visited Birmingham yet you make comments on it !!! and again you are comparing a 60's city to a 21st century city, times move on. and what same applies to most British cities !!!!

We do have " Skyscrapers" just another name for a high rise building and depends on the definition of a skyscraper, and no city in the UK will compare to our capital city, but we have a brilliant tram system in the making and Birmingham has the second largest population outside London of 1.5 to 2 million Citizens, no other City in the Uk apart from London has that amount of Citizens.

​@@peterwilliamallen1063 ​​the term "skyscraper" usually refers to a building which is at least 150 meters, where at least half of the building must be habitable (i.e. telephone masts and radio towers are not included). Under that definition Birmingham doesn't have any true skyscrapers. Some people say they only have to be 100+ meters, but you'll find most people around the world agree on 150+ (but even then, 150m is the absolute bare minimum). The only half decent skyscrapers in the UK would be in either London or Manchester. But really, you'd need to leave Europe altogether to see any proper ones!!

@@minnie_crace Oh Minnie Grace you are such a flipping anorak, explain why is Manchester so special, it is only known for Manchester United Football Club, who are crap now and Coronation Street on TV, as far as most people are concerned tall building's are termed in lay language as Sky Scrappers, and the only Cities to have them are London, New York a few other USA Cities and Cities in Asia. If you look at the CITY of MANCHESTER there are very few tall buildings / Sky scrapers in the actual City Centre, the rest are in Greater Manchester, which my dear is not the City of Manchester two totally different things, now if you tootle along the M6 passing through Spaghetti Junction Interchange in Birmingham and feast your eyes on Birmingham City Centre from afar, you will see a wonderous site of the UK's second Largest City after London and see a wonderous site of the sky line of Birmingham's City Centre with it's many tall buildings / Sky scrappers both built and under construction. the lay mans term for " Skyscraper" is a building so tall it seems to scrape the sky, only Google gives the measurements, but bugger me if I am getting a tape measure out. It seam 's Mancunians are very boring jealous people, don't forget the population of Manchester is between 560 and 580,000 citizens, yet Birmingham has 1.5 to 2 million Citizens and growing, so a little extra skyscraper here and there doesn't seem bothering about, oh by the way under construction in Brum is the tallest building out side London.

@@peterwilliamallen1063 ​ not sure why you're hating on me + Manchester so much. I only mentioned in passing that the tallest buildings in the UK are in London & Manchester 🤷‍♀️ You mentioned that the tallest building outside London under constriction is in Birmingham - I think you're referring to The Mercian (132 meters). City of Manchester currently has 4 taller buildings under construction (3 of which are over 150 meters). Also Birmingham's tallest approved building is 193 meters. Manchester's tallest approved building is 213 meters.

Doesnt depend on skyscrapers it depend how live and there a lot of shops and industrial it ha dmore london

Manchester was predominantly a mill town. Birmingham and the West Midlands, in comparison, had a far more diverse set of industries and saw the innovation and application of a lot of industrial Revolution technologies. It's not to say Manchester wasn't important, but it's more that the West Midlands embodies that more than Greater Manchester

Where talking about your fuckin city

I agree, i think the younger generations will help fix the racism problem, but the city is so ugly and it saddens me how it's in prime position to become a modern green city of the future that still pays homage to it's victorian, industrial, brutalist and immigrant roots, but it just doesn't. Nobody will ever come here because it's not pretty. why come to brum when literally anywhere else is better and actually has culture

Well stay in Afghanistan

Bye then

@@lordgemini2376 That funny. 😂

Maybe you need to read up on what the CAZ actually is and does, given you don't seem to get it

Yes it is, but it already has loads of tall buildings in the City Centre,not as many as London, but as many as Manchester.

@@peterwilliamallen1063 Definitely nowhere near the amount as Manchester

@@lordgemini2376 I think you need to look again at the Birmingham Sky line mate in person from the M6 going through spaghetti Junction, I have been personally to Manchester and I found it rather flat compared to Birmingham. Looking just at these videos do not give you the correct perspective in 3 mins in one area, for a start we have two of the tallest blocks of flats in Europe next to Beecham Tower in the Horse fair area of the City, the BT Tower, The Rotunda, to name a few, so before making comparisons I suggest you come and look a Brum personally.

@@peterwilliamallen1063 I'm afraid you're mistaken. A quick look on wikipedia and you'll see Manchester has far more tall buildings than Birmingham. B'ham's BT Tower is by far its tallest building; however, it would only be the 5th tallest building if it was in Manchester. Manchester also has over 30 buildings (100m +) either under construction or in planning. B'ham has around half this amount. Tallest buildings in Birmingham: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tallest_buildings_and_structures_in_Birmingham Tallest buildings in Manchester: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tallest_buildings_and_structures_in_Greater_Manchester From an unbiased Sydneysider.

@@Mohammed.Kumar83 Your findings are like Wikipedia based mainly on Greater Manchester, Greater Manchester is a Combined Authority with a Mayor that looks after the old area of South East Lancashire and North East Cheshire set up in the 1970's, like the West Midlands combined authority, if you read Wikipedia, it only states Greater Manchester's total, this is not the City of Manchester, they are two different things, where as Birmingham's total is only based on the Cities total not the West Midlands total, getting a bit petty now. Not sure what is wrong with you Northerners in Manchester you seem a bit peed off with life, why is you lot always class Greater Manchester as Manchester, Manchester is a Stand alone City, where as Greater Manchester cover other large towns and Cities such as Stockport, Hyde etc etc so is not Manchester so a lot f these buildings are not actually in the City of Manchester but Greater Manchester, where as the building count in Birmingham is that for Birmingham alone, plus I have seen a video of Manchester's City Centre and it is very flat compared to the amount of High rise buildings that are in Birmingham's City Centre.
