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:
“I have developed a visionary modern lyric, and, for it, an idiom in which I can write lyrically, colloquially, and dramatically. My subject is city life—with its sofas, hotel corridors, cinemas, underworlds, cardboard suitcases, self-willed buses, banknotes, soapy bathrooms, newspaper-filled parks; and its anguish, its enraged excitement, its great lonely joys.”
—Rosemary Tonks (b. 1932)
“To make our idea of morality centre on forbidden acts is to defile the imagination and to introduce into our judgments of our fellow-men a secret element of gusto.”
—Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)
