| - The West Midlands is an official Region of England, covering the western half of the area traditionally known as the Midlands. It contains the second largest British city, Birmingham, and the larger West Midlands conurbation, which includes the city of Wolverhampton and large towns of Dudley, Solihull, Walsall and West Bromwich. The city of Coventry is also located within the West Midlands county, but is separated from the conurbation to the west by a section of green belt. The region is geographically diverse, from the urban central areas of the conurbation to the rural western counties of Shropshire and Herefordshire which border Wales. The longest river in the country, the River Severn, traverses the region south-eastwards, flowing through the county towns of Shrewsbury and Worcester, and the Ironbridge Gorge, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The region also encompasses five Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty and one National Park.

The Black Country and Birmingham also constructed vast council estates to rehouse those displaced by the inner city slum clearances. Birmingham alone has one of the highest numbers of tower blocks for a city, accounting for some 6% of all tower blocks constructed nationally. Once again the areas are reinventing themselves as industry has continued to decline but also as the infrastructural and homes have become unsuitable for modern living. Sandwell has led the way in Europe for demolishing and refurbishing tower blocks, whilst Birmingham, Wolverhampton and Walsall have also invested heavily in their postwar housing stock.
