Once named "The City of 1,001 Trades", industrial Birmingham has re-invented itself as a prime tourist and business location. It's situated in the heart of England, an area famous for Shakespearean connections and beautiful countryside. Birmingham was put on the global map with the European Summit in 1994, hosted at the International Conference Centre as was the G8 Summit in 1998, attended by President Clinton, Prime Minister Blair and their foreign counterparts. After years of being the butt of jokes from other British cities, Birmingham now rightly holds its head high on the national and international stage. It is even bidding to become European City of Culture in 2008 - it is a measure of just how far the city has progressed in a relatively short time that it does so with every chance of success. |
