Besides I like the City cluster more, its a little family, lol.

Yeh but ours look like a big bad bunch of brummie bullies

Fantasy, not future.

Maybe, but all plots with scrapers on in his pictures have rumoured high-rise proposals or buidlings approved or U/C so ... really just the desings are fantasy, plus there are many missing of this picture

Can somebody get some updated panoramas please? It'll be good to see the cityscape from Camp Hill and maybe the Jewellery Quarter.

Mmmm, looks like this 2nd city saga is prevalent in most countries aye.

Being in England for quite some time during my student years during mid 90s.There were always off-key voices from friends in Manchester saying how great Manc was..how lively etc. I replied - the reason why I chose Birmingham U is partly due to the fact that Brum is THE 2nd city of Britain. Yes, Manchester might be more well known bcoz of the Red Devil, but even in Kuala Lumpur, we're aware that Brum is the next big city after London.

IMO [Based on previous foraying within British cities :

Birmingham is 2nd
Manchester 3rd
Glasgow 4th

Best of the rest
Liverpool, Edinburgh, Leeds

Nice one aBe - same here in the States, Brum's getting noticed.

joshwebb · January 29th, 2011, 10:48 PM

What would an up to date future skyline look like?

Brummyboy92 · January 29th, 2011, 11:30 PM

Josh you have not just brought a thread back from 2005 to ask this lol.

joshwebb · January 30th, 2011, 01:18 PM

I have haha

and I hope someone who's good at this kinda stuff will show me what I want

Brummyboy92 · January 30th, 2011, 05:30 PM

You could have asked in the already existing skyline thread in the birmingham forum lol. There use to be a few made by van heckler which where fantastic, however most of the projects are all on hold. And I don't know where these pics are anyway.

joshwebb · January 30th, 2011, 10:15 PM

There's none with regal tower and beorma quarter in tho is there?

Brummyboy92 · January 31st, 2011, 12:12 AM

Beorma was in it I think, you'll have to ask someone in the brummy forum because I can't find it lol.

joshwebb · February 2nd, 2011, 10:16 PM

joshwebb · September 6th, 2011, 09:00 AM

Where would this view be seen from?

Birmingham is the second city of UK and England what is Manchester a city population less than 500,000 Leeds Sheffield and Liverpool are bigger than Manchester.
Greater Manchester made up of Bolton Rochdale Bury Stockport Oldham
Manchester skyline is not good as Birmingham the centre of Manchester Shopping area is not as large as Leeds or Birmingham
