Outside of The City Centre
The Birmingham Super Hospital is the city's first superhospital, completed in 2010. The completion cost was £545 million. The superhospital will eventually replace Selly Oak Hospital and the old Queen Elizabeth Hospital.
The City of Birmingham Stadium is a proposed multi-purpose stadium in the Saltley area of Birmingham for Birmingham City F.C., to replace the current St Andrews Stadium in Bordesley Green. The original proposal was the centrepiece of a larger scheme to create a £300 million sports village on a 60-acre (240,000 m2) site, however, plans for the sports village fell through when plans for a proposed supercasino for the site also fell through. The stadium plans will rejuvenate a contaminated site currently used by Birmingham Wheels.
Urban Splash also developed Fort Dunlop, a former factory building next to the M6 motorway, which opened in December 2006.
Bournville College is relocating to Longbridge on the former site of the MG Rover works and is one of the first to regenerate the former factory.

Famous quotes containing the words city and/or centre:
“In place of a world, there is a city, a point, in which the whole life of broad regions is collecting while the rest dries up. In place of a type-true people, born of and grown on the soil, there is a new sort of nomad, cohering unstably in fluid masses, the parasitical city dweller, traditionless, utterly matter-of-fact, religionless, clever, unfruitful, deeply contemptuous of the countryman and especially that highest form of countryman, the country gentleman.”
—Oswald Spengler (1880–1936)
“Go anywhere in England where there are natural, wholesome, contented, and really nice English people; and what do you always find? That the stables are the real centre of the household.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
