Year 12 Geography students spent the day assessing "To what extent has the regeneration of Birmingham CBD has been a success?" They studied the land use and environmental quality of the CBD from Brindley Place in the West to the new Bull Ring and the iconic Selfridges building in the heart of the city. Future regeneration includes the new Library (see photo) currently being built on the edge of Centenary Square. The day also included an impromptu tour of a number of football grounds, from Villa Park to The Hawthorns ! Tomorrow will see our intrepid explorers venture into deepest rural Shropshire to see just how villages are responding to the current economic crisis.
