Places where people want to live

The Trust have been creating & sustaining places where people want to live since 1900;

  • Broadly set over four areas; Bournville, inner city Birmingham, Telford and the agricultural estates to the south of Birmingham
  • c.1000 urban acres, 3000 agricultural acres
  • 8000 mixed-tenure homes on the estate & some 25,000 people

Many have credited the model village with laying the foundations for the development of garden cities and introducing the benefits of open space into modern town planning.
