	For a Change Magazine: The battle of Castle Vale
		Castle Vale, Birmingham's largest residential estate, was built by the city council during that era of social engineering, in the late 1960s, when high-rise was all the rage and thousands were being relocated from innercity slums.
		Castle Vale is one of the largest with an anticipated lifetime budget of over £200 million -- £42.5 million has already been allocated -- drawn from central government, as well as the rent collected from the estate's tenants and some European funds.
		Castle Vale suggests that, given the resources, imagination and spirit of partnership, such a renaissance is possible.
