Strategies to make Birmingham more sustainable and improve quality of life
Recycling
Birmignham have provided 5 household waste and recycling centres.
Birmingham residents are encouraged to consider donating unwanted items.
The council has recently introduced recycling bins in the city centre.
Green Transport
Birmingham has an extensive network of bus routes to encourage people to use buses rather than cars.
This will reduce air and noise pollution in the city,
improving the quality of life for residents.
Green Open Spaces
Birmingham has 3,500 hectares of green open space
the city has 5 local nature reserves
This allows residents to enjoy the beauty of the natural
environment and escape the noise pollution of built up areas
Eco Housing
172 affordable eco-homes were built with £8.5m
of funding from the Homes & Communities Agency
zero carbon homes are affordable for people on low incomes.
This improves the quality of life for
Birmingham residents on low incomes
Regeneration/rebranding
Regeneration
areas that were once in decline start to grow and prosper again, often as result of redevelopment projects or gentrification.
Longbridge is an example of regeneration.
Rebranding
the creation of a new positive name, term, or image for a place to make it a popular place to live, work and visit.
Eastside is an example of rebranding.
Site/situation/connectivity
Site
The City of Birmingham was suitable for early settlement because it was located on a dry point site.
There was no risk of flooding because it was on a sandstone ridge overlooking a crossing point of the River Rea.
