Perry Barr Residential Scheme
The Perry Barr Residential Scheme remains a central component of the long-term Perry Barr 2040: A Vision for Legacy masterplan. Following the successful delivery of 968 homes in the initial phase, Birmingham City Council is now focusing on the next stages of the district's transformation. Recent strategic updates highlight the potential for a phased redevelopment of the One Stop Shopping Centre to improve connectivity and integrate the site with new residential and green infrastructure, as the council continues to advance its broader regeneration framework.
Smithfield Birmingham
The £1.9 billion Smithfield Birmingham project is a 17-hectare city-centre regeneration scheme designed to deliver over 3,000 homes, new commercial space, and cultural venues. Following the approval of the masterplan and the securing of £172.8 million in grant funding, the project has entered its initial delivery phase. Archaeological and enabling works are currently underway, while the council and its development partner, Lendlease, continue to navigate complex delivery risks under the scrutiny of government-appointed commissioners.
Birmingham East Mayoral Development Corporation (BEMDC)
The Birmingham East Mayoral Development Corporation (BEMDC) is a statutory body launched in May 2026 to accelerate an £11 billion regeneration programme across a 422-hectare area of East Birmingham. By consolidating planning, land acquisition, and infrastructure funding powers, the corporation aims to streamline the delivery of major projects including the Birmingham Knowledge Quarter, HS2 Curzon Street Station, the Smithfield development, and the proposed Birmingham Sports Quarter. The initiative is designed to drive regional economic growth and address long-standing local deprivation through coordinated urban development.
Birmingham Central Heart Prospectus
The Birmingham Central Heart Prospectus is a strategic regeneration framework designed to transform underutilised retail and office land into a sustainable, mixed-use district. Aligned with the Our Future City: Central Birmingham Framework 2045, the initiative targets eight key sites to deliver up to 5,000 homes, 8,000 jobs, and over 400,000 sqm of commercial floorspace. The project has gained significant momentum in 2026, with active public consultations for major sites such as Martineau Place and the formal establishment of the Birmingham East Mayoral Development Corporation to accelerate delivery.
