Development directorate
Welcome to the Development Directorate
 

It has been another successful year for the Development Directorate. Our work has been recognised with 57 awards in 2008. We look to build on and repeat this success in 2009.

Welcome to the Development Directorate of Birmingham City Council.

The Development Directorate was formed in 2002 as part of a fundamental restructure of Council services inspired by Going Local, the Council strategy for devolution and localisation. The Directorate brings together the Council’s development responsibilities, for which there are two main themes: growth and renewal.

Our work is concerned with supporting growth of the local economy, helping to position Birmingham as a major European and international city and replicating the success of the city centre’s renaissance in local neighbourhoods.
