    Birmingham has for so long been the butt of jokes but I really hope this is where the line is drawn and we can move upwards. I’ve lived here all my life and wouldn’t move for anything.

    Someone or some people has got it in for Birmingham one of the greatest cities on earth for its history...every major development has gone to London at the extra cost of the public purse...Birmingham is 20 years behind because of these people who for some reason don't want it to develop to its potential but having said that due to Current climate change Birmingham is weatherproof than any other city in UK meaning if the ice caps melted Birmingham would be an island, you get the picture

    I'm also born and raised in Birmingham, and I have seen a lot off changes to the centre of the city centre. I absolutely love my city and I really just get pis**d of with the way the government is 4 ever pumping money into London. I mean yeah I get that it's the capital and all that but I have also seen Manchester get a lot more in the way from the government in the past few years also. But we are still the second city (4 now anyway) and I am very happy to see us getting the commonwealth games in 2022. At least now we can show what the City is all about.

Birmingham has always been well known for tall buildings. This video is not comparing Cities and tall buildings it is to show you the new building development at Arena Central. If you want to see how Birmingham looks and its array of tall buildings there are plenty of aerial views of the whole of Birmingham City Centre using a drone on you tube.
