		Birmingham forms the largest part of the "West Midlands conurbation", along with Wolverhampton, Solihull, the towns of the Black Country and parts of the surrounding counties of Staffordshire, Warwickshire, and Worcestershire.
		Birmingham suffered heavy bomb damage during World War II, and partly as a result of this the city centre was extensively re-developed during the 1950s and 1960s, with many concrete office buildings, ring-roads, and now much-derided pedestrian subways.
		Birmingham's transition from an industrial centre to a tourism and services economy is best illustrated by the hosting of the first official summit of the G8 at the International Convention Centre (May 15 to May 17, 1998).
