Reasons for why the Bullring was re-developed?
In the 1950’s the old Bullring site seemed to have everything. In the 1960’s the market site became one of Britain’s most celebrated new city with the remarkable development of the old Bullring, at that time it was the largest shopping centre’s outside of America. By the 1980’s Birmingham Bull Ring has very little to offer despite its trading history. The old Bullring shopping centre was tired and jaded, and Birmingham had only one department store left this could not be Birmingham’s growing status as a leading centre of business, this is because it is not in the same level as the Bullring. The redevelopment of the Bullring site was transformed into a world class retail capital, bringing modern retail businesses into the city with department store such as Debenhams and Selfridges, it now also has over 140 shops, cafes and restaurants and has 3 car parks Moor Street, Edgbaston Street and Centre car park space for about 3,000.
