The purpose of the Area Investment Prospectus (AIP) is to capture the
key strategic development and investment opportunities around the city
as well as outline Birmingham’s plans to improve the economic
environment and infrastructure required to support the growth generated
by these opportunities. The AIP brings together the visions of public
and private partners into one overall framework, designed to continue
the transformation of Birmingham, and enhance its place as a leading
world city and a dynamic regional capital. This new second edition
contains the latest additions to the city’s portfolio, revisions to
existing sites as well as opportunities from the original prospectuses.

Birmingham has ambitious plans to grow and improve the quality of life
of its population. We expect our population to grow by a further 100,000
in the next two decades. To accommodate this we are developing an
integrated growth plan, which will create sustainable communities where
people want to live, work, visit and invest. This will involve
supporting economic development with new opportunities for growth and
jobs; significantly increasing the supply of quality housing choice;
improving infrastructure including transport, utilities, local services
and amenities such as schools, health and social services and the
leisure and culture offer. This will be achieved in the context of
meeting the challenge of climate change and protecting and enhancing the
environment and natural resources. The new developments will be created
on
the principles of ‘sustainable urban neighbourhoods’.

Since the launch of the first set of Area Investment Prospectuses last
year, which highlighted some 60 sites totalling 400 hectares,
significant progress has been made, with over a third of the sites
moving forward, generating an additional £1.5 billion investment in the
city. Some of the major successes include Cole River Park, the new
Joseph Chamberlain College development and Shard End Crescent in the
East, Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Technology Park at Longbridge and
Edgbaston Galleries in the South and the Black Cat site, Icknield Port
Loop and Rupert Street (Nechells) in the North West.
