As Birmingham’s leaders map out a path for transforming the city, one project looks set to set the tone in terms of scale and ambition.
The 42-acre, £1.9bn Smithfield project will eventually have 3,000 homes, 1.7m sq ft of commercial space and 40,000 sq ft of space for commercial use. Some 1,000 trees will green the city centre site, a new home for historic markets will be built and a new plaza, Festival Square, will be able to hold 8,000 people.
In this podcast recorded at UKREiiF, EG deputy editor Tim Burke ios joined by Deborah Cadman, chief executive of Birmingham City Council, and Neil Martin, chief executive for Europe at Lendlease, to discuss the ways in which they want the project to become an impossible-to-ignore illustration of public and private partnership in action in Birmingham.
