Birmingham - Global City with a Local Heart Is OPEN FOR BUSINESS

March 10 2009

Welcome to Birmingham at MIPIM 2009 and your gateway to a host of development opportunities in a city that is OPEN FOR BUSINESS.

While chill winds blow through the global property market, Birmingham has another £6 BILLION worth of development underway in its central area and schemes worth many more billions across the wider city area.

These schemes are currently rising above the cityscape and many are the offspring of first contacts made at previous MIPIMs.

We hope you will join with us and come to Birmingham - "A Global City with a Local Heart" - when seeking your next major investment.

Birmingham is one of the most proactive local authorities in Europe and its "Big City Plan" outlines how we are going to take this great city forward over the next ten and twenty years.

Within the "Big City Plan" there are hundreds of opportunities for you to contribute to the redevelopment and regeneration of Birmingham and we urge you to partner with us in this great enterprise.

On this stand you will find evidence of some of the exciting developments already underway or planned in Birmingham and our Planning & Regeneration Team will be pleased to outline a host of opportunities available across the city.

We have the sites, the enthusiasm and the will to succeed. We urge you to support us with your financial muscle in a joint venture that builds value for your business and a new city for our citizens.

I give you this pledge -

You will not find another city where the public and private sector work so closely hand in hand for the benefit of both our investors and our citizens.

In the following pages you will read of the achievements and plans of our private sector partners and sponsors that have helped us make our presence felt at MIPIM 2009. We are extremely grateful to all of them for their support once again this year. (In hard times, you can count on your friends!)

If you have exciting aspirations that match our development and planning criteria you will find you are pushing on an open door, and your visit to the Birmingham stand at MIPIM 2009 could just be the start of a beautiful relationship!

Councillor Mike Whitby - Leader of Birmingham City Council
