Birmingham Study Tour

Event information

BOB-MK is running a day trip to look at high quality urban design, regeneration and much more in central Birmingham. There are many innovative projects that are very interesting and it should be a good day to look at Urban design, Retail, Connectivity and Active travel, Landscaping, Public realm, work and leisure.

The cost of the trip to our members will cover the transport costs and group discounts will apply.

The tour will board a coach from Oxford, pick up in Banbury and if possible another pick up point and go direct to the centre of Birmingham. Delegates can join the trip from Birmingham centre if they wish to make their own way there.

We will follow an agreed route to look at the wide range of projects, urban design and key features across Birmingham central area and then out to see some new developments. We are working together with Birmingham City Council who are supporting the tour and providing routes, information and general background to the area and the design.

Highlights of what we might see:

• Birmingham centre
• Details of the Big City Plan
• Jewellery Quarter
• Library
• New Street station
• Brindley Place
• Travel to outlying housing developments
