Original Document
The creation of a “Virtual Birmingham” is another valuable concept. Starting with a 3D representation of the City Centre, it would enable city planners, developers, stakeholders and the public to plan and visually re-shape the city centre and consider its impacts. It would enable citizens and both national and international visitors to view and navigate the city centre more effectively and interactively, providing a richer experience and engagement. It would encourage inward investment by acting as a showcase to attract national and international interest and open up opportunities to explore the art of the possible.
Plain English Translation
We could create a 3D “Virtual Birmingham” online, a model of the city — starting with the City Centre. It could help planners see how they could change the Ciity Centre.
Visitors could look at it before they came to find out about Birmingham.
