The much publicised HS2 rail project, which will unite the area with London, is likely to stimulate further investment, making the city one of the most commercially attractive cities in Europe. Significant investment from home and abroad should help to alleviate the city’s unemployment problem in the coming years, making Birmingham a European hub for international business. The city is regarded as the 18th best city in Europe in which to locate a business (1), providing access to over 100,000 graduates, with competitive advantage in areas like automotive and aerospace research. Commercial Property – Industrial Units, Office Space to Rent 3 A guide to business in Birmingham Key commercial property trends With the development of the HS2 rail project, Birmingham is bracing itself for a boom in commercial property demand, with multi-national firms encouraged to use the city as their primary British base. While demand has slowed down following the financial crisis, the office, industrial and retail sectors are expected to exceed the rest of the UK average until 2015: Source: GVA Regional Cities Seminar: Invest in Birmingham/IPD REFL Jan 2011 Speculative developments like the city centre Paradise Circus project are likely to be completed, offering new Grade-A office plots, along with retail space, hotel and entertainment facilities.

  • For Immediate Release
    Ikon Gallery, 1 Oozells Square, Brindleyplace, Birmingham b1 2hs tel. +44 (0) 121 248 0708 / fax. +44 (0) 121 248 0709 website. www.ikon-gallery.co.uk Ikon Gallery is a registered charity no. 528892 IKON Press Release Florian Hecker 27 May – 20 June 2010 Ikon Eastside Ikon Eastside opens its 2010 programme with an installation of newly commissioned sound pieces by German artist Florian Hecker. This exhibition features a trail of four electro-acoustic works, each intensifying and questioning the visitor’s perception of sound, body and space. Comprising groups of speakers mounted on metal rods amidst white gallery walls, the structural aesthetic of the installation is in stark contrast to this intense sonic effect, creating a multimodal amalgamation of auditory and spatial perception. Installed at the entrance of the gallery, the first work Magnitude Estimation (2010) uses the most recognisable sound, a human voice. Recorded in an anechoic chamber, the voice recites the loudness values of a given sound. These same utterances are emitted synchronously from another opposing loudspeaker, finally creating an auditory chimera while doubling the voice, the signification and the measurement of what one hears. 2 x 3 Kanal (2 x 3 Channel, 2009) consists of two separate 3-channel pieces which rotate simultaneously - one clockwise, the other counter clockwise - around the three speakers. A seemingly ever upward moving sonic structure alternates with a sequence of tones, illustrating Diana Deutsch’s ‘Tritone Paradox’ (an auditory phenomena whereby simultaneous tones are heard as ascending by some people and descending by others). Untitled (2010) involves progressively abstract sounds, appearing to emanate from a tiled section of the gallery wall.

  • Building Birmingham: a Tour in Three Parts of the Building Stones Used in the City Centre
    Urban Geology in the English Midlands No. 3 Building Birmingham: A tour in three parts of the building stones used in the city centre. Part 3. Around the shops from the ‘Back of Rackham’s’ to the Bullring Ruth Siddall, Julie Schroder and Laura Hamilton The name ‘Birmingham’ is derived from the Anglo-Saxon Beormingahām, alluding to the home of the Beormingas clan and their settlement here was probably established as early as the 7th Century A.D. However the centre remained a poor region until the later 12th Century when Peter de Bermingham, local lord of the manor, developed a market centre around his castle, in the area that is now the Bull Ring. From then Birmingham’s economy began to take off and it became established as a small market town. The Bull Ring has also been shown to be an area of light industry at this time. Archaeological excavations carried out during the latest phase of construction in the early 2000s have revealed evidence of potters’ workshops and leatherworks during the 13th Century. This building stone walk focuses on the old centre of Birmingham, around the church of St Martin in the Bull Ring and the surrounding shopping malls. The area demonstrates continuity as a centre for trade and retail but the building materials used here have changed beyond those that would have been familiar to Peter de Bermingham and his family. The area has been transformed over the last two decades, and though the oldest part of the city of Birmingham, it is now the symbol of a new vibrant centre, with the covered markets replaced by glamorous shopping malls.

  • The Meaning of Place and State-Led Gentrification in Birmingham's Eastside
    Porter, E. and Barber, A. (2006) The meaning of place and state-led gentrification in Birmingham's Eastside. City: Analysis of Urban Trends, Culture, Theory, Policy, Action, 10 (2). pp. 215-234. ISSN 1360-4813 http://eprints.gla.ac.uk/25333/ Deposited on: 23 March 2010 Enlighten – Research publications by members of the University of Glasgow http://eprints.gla.ac.uk The meaning of place and state-led gentrification in Birmingham's Eastside Abstract Despite Birmingham's claim to constitute 'England's second city', it has arguably been overlooked in much recent academic research - perhaps because of a tendency to regard Manchester as the paradigmatic English example of the emerging post- industrial city-region. Contributors to CITY have gone some way to redressing this imbalance - with Frank Webster's paper in vol 5 no 1 and Kevin Ward's paper in vol 7 no 2 underlining the wider issues raised by the adoption of 'urban entrepreneurialism' in Birmingham. This paper, by Libby Porter and Austin Barber, takes forward such concerns through a case study of the ongoing regeneration of an individual district of the city: Birmingham Eastside. Using the stories of two pubs, whose fortunes are permanently re-shaped by state-led development initiatives, the paper develops a critical reflection on academic and policy debates relating to gentrification and the restructuring of central districts of large cities. In particular, the authors highlight how current thinking about the regeneration of inner city districts marginalizes the socio- cultural meaning of place and the human networks that animate city places. They argue that this constrains planning possibilities and imaginations for the area's future.

  • Travelling to UCE Birmingham Conservatoire
    Travelling to UCE Birmingham Conservatoire ROAD From M6 South or North-West Leave the M6 at Junction 6 and follow the A38(M). Follow signs to ‘City centre, Bromsgrove, (A38)’. Do not take any left exit. Go over 1 flyover and through just 1 Queensway tunnel (sign posted ‘Bromsgrove and Queen Elizabeth Hospital’). Leave this tunnel indicating left but stay in the right hand lane of the slip road. UCE Birmingham Conservatoire is located on the Paradise Circus island. Follow directions below for parking and/or loading & unloading. Parking Car parking at the Conservatoire is very limited and we regret we cannot offer parking spaces to visitors. However, there are several NCP car parks located close by, including two located on Cambridge Street. To access these car parks, at the Paradise Circus island, immediately after you pass the exit for the A456 (Broad Street), move into the left lane and take the first left into Cambridge Street. Loading & Unloading To access the Conservatoire’s car park (for loading and unloading only), pass under the bridge and turn right as if to access the Copthorne Hotel, and then right again into the underground road. Follow the road around to the left to gain access to the Conservatoire’s car park, which is at the end of the road. A goods lift is available. From M5 South-West Leave the M5 at Junction 3 and travel towards Birmingham City Centre along the A456 (Hagley Road) for 5 miles to the Five Ways island. This is easily distinguishable as it is surrounded by large office blocks and a Tesco store.
