Birmingham ( (listen) BUR-ming-əm) is a city and metropolitan borough in the West Midlands, England. It is the second-largest city, urban area and metropolitan area in England and the United Kingdom, with roughly 1.1 million inhabitants within the city area, 2.9 million inhabitants within the urban area and 4.3 million inhabitants within the metropolitan area. The city proper is the most populated English local government district. Birmingham is commonly referred to as the Second city of the United Kingdom.Located in the West Midlands county and region in England, approximately 100 miles (160 km) from Central London, Birmingham, as one of the United Kingdom's major cities, is considered to be the social, cultural, financial, and commercial centre of the Midlands. Distinctively, Birmingham only has small rivers flowing through it, mainly the River Tame and its tributaries River Rea and River Cole – one of the closest main rivers is the Severn, approximately 20 miles (32 km) west of the city centre.
A market town of Warwickshire in the medieval period, Birmingham grew in the 18th-century Midlands Enlightenment and subsequent Industrial Revolution, which saw advances in science, technology, and economic development, producing a series of innovations that laid many of the foundations of modern industrial society. By 1791, it was being hailed as the first manufacturing town in the world. Birmingham's distinctive economic profile, with thousands of small workshops practising a wide variety of specialised and highly skilled trades, encouraged exceptional levels of creativity and innovation and provided an economic base for prosperity that was to last into the final quarter of the 20th century. The Watt steam engine was invented in Birmingham.The resulting high level of social mobility also fostered a culture of political radicalism which, under leaders from Thomas Attwood to Joseph Chamberlain, was to give it a political influence unparalleled in Britain outside London, and a pivotal role in the development of British democracy. From the summer of 1940 to the spring of 1943, Birmingham was bombed heavily by the German Luftwaffe in what is known as the Birmingham Blitz. The damage done to the city's infrastructure, in addition to a deliberate policy of demolition and new building by planners, led to extensive urban regeneration in subsequent decades.
Birmingham's economy is now dominated by the service sector. The city is a major international commercial centre and an important transport, retail, events and conference hub. Its metropolitan economy is the second largest in the United Kingdom with a GDP of $121.1bn (2014), and its five universities make it the largest centre of higher education in the country outside London. Birmingham's major cultural institutions – the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, the Birmingham Royal Ballet, the Birmingham Repertory Theatre, the Library of Birmingham and the Barber Institute of Fine Arts – enjoy international reputations, and the city has vibrant and influential grassroots art, music, literary and culinary scenes. The city will host the 2022 Commonwealth Games. Birmingham is the fourth-most visited city in the UK by foreign visitors.

Dark Side of Birmingham England
Birmingham is one of the biggest cities in the United Kingdom, and it is also one of the biggest economies in the country having many industries and sectors actively involved in its economic output. As a result of this, Birmingham is increasingly becoming a major hotspot for those who wish to relocate for a better life. And obviously, Birmingham provides several opportunities for people of all levels. However, with the numerous opportunities that Birmingham provides, it still has its dark sides that many don't know about Birmingham. Many think it is all rosy over there. And in this piece, we provide you with information on what you need to know about the dark side of Birmingham.
Homelessness
One of the dark sides of Birmingham that many people have not come to terms with is the issue of homelessness. Homelessness is a serious issue in the city of Birmingham; However, it is a typical issue in most parts of the world with the same status and so it should not be surprising. That said, determining the exact number of homeless individuals in Birmingham may be difficult because of the transient nature of homelessness, and the work of many organizations and local authorities involved in addressing the problem. However, because of the influx of newbies into the city, the number of homeless people is steadily increasing as more people compete for scarce resources. This has consequently driven the prices of house rents higher and the cost of acquiring a house hire. Also, issues like unemployment that is a result of more influx of workforce into the city have led to an increase in the number of homeless persons in the city because many are unemployed and unable to pay for house rent. And this is why it is common to see rough sleeping in the city. Rough sleeping describes a scenario where an individual sleeps in public spaces such as streets, parks, and doorways. It is one of the most visible forms of homelessness. Nevertheless, efforts have been made to provide emergency shelter, outreach services, and support to those living on the streets.
Public transport is not reliable
Another dark and hidden side of Birmingham that you will not hear about is the public transport system. This might come as a shock to many who think Birmingham has a good transport system. Of course, they do not lie, Birmingham is known to have a public transport system but as good as it may seem to many, it is not reliable. This is true when you ask people inhabiting the city to give you a firsthand experience of the city's public transport system. This unreliability has led to the decline of the use of buses for commuting within Birmingham over the past decade, this reduction is a substantial reduction of millions of bus rides. Driving this reduction is the concern of commuters regarding reliability, cost, safety, and antisocial behavior which is getting more prominent. Although city authorities are now eager to investigate the precise reasons behind the public's reluctance to use buses and address these concerns. But this does not take away the fact that at the moment, there is a reduction in the use of buses in the city which is fueled by perceived inefficiency in the minds of commuters.
How serious is this reduction? you might ask.
Recent data released showed that there were significant declines in the number of individuals making use of buses for commuting to Birmingham during the busy morning rush hours of between 7:30 am to 9:30 am. Approximately 30,000 people relied on buses for their work or school journeys a decade ago, but presently, that figure has dropped below 23,000. Also, the entire West Midlands region has experienced a substantial decrease in bus usage, with the number of journeys plunging from 318 million in 2009 to fewer than 260 million annually, according to the 2017 passenger trends survey conducted by Transport for West Midlands.
And so, if you are considering moving to Birmingham, you might have to consider the public transport system. Because what people are saying is not what you are thinking.

Birmingham City Centre Walking Tour #4K #England #Birmingham
The City of Birmingham forms a conurbation with the largely residential borough of Solihull to the south east, and with the city of Wolverhampton and the industrial towns of the Black Country to the north west, which form the West Midlands Built-up Area covering 59,972 ha (600 km2; 232 sq mi). Surrounding this is Birmingham's metropolitan area – the area to which it is closely economically tied through commuting – which includes the former Mercian capital of Tamworth and the cathedral city of Lichfield in Staffordshire to the north; the industrial city of Coventry and the Warwickshire towns of Nuneaton, Warwick and Leamington Spa to the east; and the Worcestershire towns of Redditch and Bromsgrove to the south west.
