We were recently asked by Birmingham City Council to undertake a community consultation project as part of their East Birmingham Inclusive Growth Strategy (EBIGS) redevelopment scheme. As part of this process we organised and hosted a series of online Zoom meet-ups. These were recorded and compiled into as short video which you can view by clicking on the image above.
