More people have chosen to live and work in central Birmingham than in central Liverpool.

Birmingham has a lower employment rate than Liverpool so you are wrong.

Birmingham has 600 thousand more people than Liverpool according to skyscrapernews. Of course it's going to be lower.

Birmingham was never meant to be beautiful, (as seen in that picture) but a big metropolis of a city it certainly is (as seen in that picture).
