In response to Matt's digital district.

 

It sounds like turning the City centre into a digital district would be beneficial to the city. I think it could be an aid to regeneration in certain areas. For example, our last year's project shows that the Gun Quarter is littered with redundant buildings, some which are sound enough for use. The introduction of high speeds internet connections, art installations and other forms of virtual equipment would connect the area into the main city centre. Even whilst visiting the sites of last year, there was a clear visual and psychological disconnection.

 

I think the digital idea could really work for Birmingham. The successes of Berlin and Barcelona show this.  They have turned into metropolitan and fresh towns. Berlin has become one of such towns and even retained its character and history.  I'd like to see the digital district has a tool of regeneration and be applied to where it is needed.

 

Where and when is debate? I would like to attend, just to be clearer on the concept.
