Birmingham City Council Deborah Cadman Interim Chief Executive - City of Nature

Although Birmingham has over 600 blue and green spaces, many of them were inherited from our Victorian past. We need to see Birmingham as a 21st century green and blue city, not one that looks backwards, but one that looks forward to the future addressing climate change, nature recovery and inequity of access. We also need to increase the number of publicly accessible green spaces to achieve this. This will then mean the city is not only one of a 1000 trades but also a city of a 1000 green spaces.
The Delivery Framework will deliver the City of Nature envisioned in Our Future City Plan 2040 and beyond; and so, make Birmingham recognisable as a City of Nature on a world stage.
