Scenario based around a national company Assignment Brief: You have been appointed Chief Project Manager and charged with preparing a Management Report for presentation to Birmingham City Council on the Birmingham Big Plan project the brief for which is provided below: Brief project background: Big City Plan is essentially a hyper-ambitious, 20-year urban renewal programme worth about £10bn and explicitly designed to cement Birmingham’s status as the UK’s second city. Like many British cities, Birmingham suffered gravely at the hands of post-war development and while some of the damage has been reversed over the past decade, much of the city still lacks a strongly defined urban character or skyline. Moreover, for some the regeneration it has enjoyed of late, while significant, has not quite matched the relentless physical and cultural resurgence of smaller arch rival Manchester. Birmingham council’s ambitious solution is to transform 800ha of the city centre by creating 1.5 million m2 of floor space, 65,000m2 of public spaces, 28km of enhanced walking and cycling routes, 5,000 homes, 50,000 jobs, enhancing 24-hour activities and generating an additional £2.1bn to the local economy each year. The project has been split into two phases, the second was launched in 2010 and over the next few years will include the rebuilding of Birmingham New Street Station, the completion of the new Birmingham Library (Europe’s largest), the creation of a city park, the expansion of the city’s Midland Metro system as well as several other commercial and public realm projects. While the Big City Plan master plan is not a statutory document, it does identify a civic vision for renewal that crucially establishes a clear framework for city-wide development. It therefore represents a radical and heroic attempt to prescriptively orchestrate urban planning on a massive scale and is a direct result of Birmingham’s municipal administration falling under a single local authority (England’s largest) capable of forging the co-ordination and consensus that neither London’s semi-potent GLA nor its 33 fractious boroughs are capable of delivering.
