Plans to regenerate a huge swathe of Birmingham’s city centre will take a significant step forward next week.
The Birmingham Curzon HS2 masterplan is set to be adopted by the city council at a cabinet meeting on 27 July.
The masterplan, which was launched for public consultation in 2014, sets out proposals to deliver a world-class integrated city centre terminus station – Birmingham Curzon (pictured) – along with major regeneration across Eastside, Digbeth and the city centre core.
The planned regeneration will boost the city’s economy by £1.4bn a year and see a 348-acre chunk of the city centre redeveloped to provide 8.2m sq ft of new commercial space, alongside 4,000 homes.
The ambitious plans will be among the largest regeneration schemes in the country and one of the biggest announced on the back of HS2.
