Birmingham is a
city and metropolitan borough in the West Midlands county of
England. Birmingham is the largest of England's core cities,
and is often considered to be the second city of the United
Kingdom. The City of Birmingham has a population of
1,006,500 (2006 estimate). It forms part of the larger West
Midlands conurbation, which has a population of 2,284,093
(2001 census) and includes several neighbouring towns and
cities, such as Solihull, Wolverhampton and the towns of the
Black Country.
The city's reputation was forged as a powerhouse of the
Industrial Revolution in Britain, a fact which led to
Birmingham being known as "the workshop of the world" or the
"city of a thousand trades". Although Birmingham's
industrial importance has declined, it has developed into a
national commercial centre, being named as the third best
place in the United Kingdom to locate a business, and the
21st best in Europe by Cushman & Wakefield in 2007. It is
also the fourth most visited city by foreign visitors in the
UK. In 1998, Birmingham hosted the G8 summit at the
International Convention Centre, the birthplace of
exhibitions in 1850 and remains a popular location for
conventions today.
People from Birmingham are known as 'Brummies', a term
derived from the city's nickname of Brum. This comes in turn
from the city's dialect name, Brummagem, which is derived
from one of the city's earlier names, 'Bromwicham'. There is
a distinctive Brummie dialect (distinct vocabulary and
syntax) and accent, both of which differ from the adjacent
Black Country.

The city has
played an important part in the history of sport. It was the
first city to be named National City of Sport by the Sports
Council. It is home to two of the country's oldest
professional football teams: Aston Villa (1874) and
Birmingham City (1875). Aston Villa won club football's most
coveted prize, the European Cup, in 1982. The Birmingham
derby is an event in which the two football clubs play
against each other. Aston Villa have won 50 matches as
opposed to Birmingham City's 38 match wins.
Birmingham was the host for the first ever Cricket World
Cup, a Women's Cricket World Cup in 1973. England beat
Australia in the finals.
Birmingham is home to Warwickshire County Cricket Club,
whose Edgbaston ground also hosts test matches. The venue
was the scene of the highest ever score by a batsman, when
Brian Lara scored 501 not out for Warwickshire.
International track and field meetings take place at
Alexander Stadium, the home of Birchfield Harriers which has
many international athletes amongst its members. The
National Indoor Arena (NIA), opened in 1991, is a major
indoor athletics venue, hosting the 2007 European Athletics
Indoor Championships and 2003 IAAF World Indoor
Championships as well as many WWE wrestling events.
The first ever game of lawn tennis was played by Major Harry
Gem and his friend Augurio Perera in Edgbaston between 1859
and 1865 and ATP international tennis is still played at
Edgbaston's Priory Club. Birmingham also has a professional
Rugby Union side, Moseley RFC, who play at Billesley Common,
and there is professional basketball team, Birmingham
Panthers, as well as professional boxing, hockey,
skateboarding, stock-car racing, greyhound racing and
speedway in the city
