    The city centre itself is almost all nice, just not the connected towns within Birmingham: Bordesley, Alum Rock, Aston, Handsworth, Small Heath. I live and work in Brum and I thought this video was really nice. Obviously they didn't show any bad bits. I suppose the city centre is nice for tourists or a day out on the town, but for somewhere to live its okay. I can't wait to move back to my home town of Stourbridge, as soon as the HS2 is built then I can sell my apartment for higher value then head back home

Who works and provides for his family while you people come on KZread and make silly comments on me being an illegal immigrant. I’m hoping you’ll understand that I was born and bred in the UK and to prove that I can provide you with my British passport. I know you’ll make another compliment on me after reading this I just want to wish you all the best and have a good life. And oh yeah, this will always will remain our Birmingham, no matter how bad or good or even worse it could be but I’ll always will love it to the core. Thank you once again. Khuda Hafiz.

    I'm an American and have lived in Brum for the past 18 months (expat for work)- I absolutely love it, and this video does it justice. It has a bad reputation from people who haven't been here in 20 years. Yes, there's rough sleepers and some crime (like every other major city in the world)... Brum is a treasure and is growing like mad- cranes dominate the skyline and property development investment here is the highest anywhere in the UK. HSBC, HMRC, Deutsche, HS2, and other organizations agree. Birmingham deserves to be the 2nd city it is. And it's only going to get better.

    @@arnelabih1845 Hey Arnela, I can't give a perspective of someone new to the city, but I can tell you some of the things I like. The public transport is good. Its not London standard, but no other city can meet that standard. I can get everywhere I need to relatively cheaply. An excellent food scene. Digbeth Dining Club is amazing, there's a load of new independents popping up all over the city, also the old stalwarts such as the balti triangle (best currys in the UK). Its a young city, lots to do and places to see. Lots of business is moving here, so there's a growing employment market. Some of the negatives include the traffic and increasing house prices (like most places these days). Overall I do think its an excellent place to live, I certainly enjoy it.

    I know - and I agree - when, when, when, will it ever, ever, end ?! I love Brum but I haven't been right into town for about six months because of the lunacy of it all... We should make MUCH more the canals and MUCH more of the Metro. Biggest library in Europe and it's open fewer and fewer days every week. Most acoustically perfect concert hall in the world and one of the best orchestras - but tickets are ridiculous.. Same with the ballet. A few tweeks to the way things work and are set up in Brum and the exodus of people and business from London would be a tidal wave.

    Few tourists cover Birmingham because it hasn't as much to offer. Birmingham was the centre of the industrial Revolution and ever since has been a brash working class city, so it could be a culture shock to many compared to London. A good comparison would be Detroit or Baltimore, cities which have unfortunately declined as industrialisation declined. Nevertheless it is an important region and the home of many inventions including the automobile, and iron and steel smelting. It is regenerating now with culture, cuisine, the reinvigorated canal system and tech industries , events and conferences. I spent many hours in the library studying for my undergraduate degree reading original copies of Adam Smith & Karl Marx works.

    I was born and bred in Birmingham, and this is one of the best documentaries of the city that I've seen in a long time. I would correct one thing, though. You mention that most of the centre of Birmingham was destroyed during the war. That's not correct. I remember Birmingham during the 50s, and it was little changed from how it was before the war. Very little damage was done to the centre of Birmingham by the bombing. What destroyed a lot of the old buildings in the centre of Birmingham was the shortsighted plans made by the City Council, who tore down many of the oldest buildings during the 1960s. The Birmingham City Council during the 1960s did much more damage to Birmingham than the Luftwaffe did during the war.

    This city had such an impact in my life. I was "stationed" there for almost three years during my Ph.D, where I was based with a Brummy metal foundry for my research, about 1.5 miles from the town center. I was a complete loner of that town. Didn't know anyone on that buzzing city. But somehow, it was a place I found how to self reflect, which made me grow on so many levels as an individual. I love the rich history of this city. People call it the Venice of the Midlands, and no it'll never be as "pretty" as Venice. But it's Venice's more rustic, industrial, hairy-chested cousin. I also used to call it Mo-town, as it was/is home to the automotive industry of Britain. And it was the birthplace of have metal :D

The library has the Rep Theatre attached to it, and next door to the Back to Backs is the Hippodrome theatre - I'm going to see Les Mis there tomorrow! There's also The Electric Cinema next to New Street Station (the UK's oldest cinema with sofas and a waiter service inside, they also do special screenings of old films, sometimes), the Sea Life Centre (not too far from Brindley Place), the ThinkTank Science Museum, and the Ikon Gallery and the Custard Factory for anyone interested in art (who've already visited BMAG). If you fancy taking a short bus ride out of the city centre, you can also visit the Barber Institute of Fine Arts at the University of Birmingham that's also free to public access.

    I am a Brummie born and bred and I would like to thank you for making such a wonderful and positive video about my city. I was so glad that you went to the Balti triangle for your Balti because if you had had it at the location where you had the fish and chips it would not have been authentic. They would have served it in one of those stainless steel bowls with handles whereas an authentic Balti is served in the cast iron Karahi in which it was cooked which was the case in the Balti you were served. One thing though. Birmingham was a beautiful city before WW2 as you alluded to but the Luftwaffe did not damage it as much as Birmingham City Council did in the 50's, 60's and 70's. Many wonderful Victorian buildings were demolished to be replaced by modern atrocities.
