Digbeth Concept and Idea 2

To me all, I knew about Digbeth was the Custard factory, it was the pinnacle of Digbeth. Other then that. I felt Digbeth had nothing else to offer. I was right but also wrong, what I mean is that Digbeth is largely known for its huge scene in the arts and media field from the Custard factory. However wrong in that it has nothing else to offer.

I came up with my second idea from an article I found on Digbeth is good called Wasted Digbeth. This article highlighted areas in Digbeth that were empty, abandon or wasted. I thought this was very interesting. The article talked about how Digbeth had a lot of potential for redevelopment and how these buildings and areas were waiting for something to happen.


I researched more into Digbeth as I wanted to find out more about this problem. As I research into this problem I found out about some of the proposed projects and facilities that were planned to be designed.

Wasted Digbeth

On the Digbeth is good website I found this map which highlighted the areas in Digbeth that where either abandoned, waste it or empty.

 As you can see the Map highlights a lots of area to have been wasted and abandon however with the would not be able to go to all these places so that the map below shows the eight places we plan to go. 

Attached to this map there was also a brief description of what had happened to these places. Why they are in this state and what they where previously used for.
