Classical public architecture and the Jewellery Quarter's Victorian workshop rows frame Birmingham's city centre, spreading outward into inter-war terraces and post-war housing estates across the largest local authority district in England. Edgbaston, to the southwest, is widely regarded as one of the city's most competitive postcodes for state schools, its tree-lined Victorian villas and independent sector presence drawing families intent on primary and secondary provision alike. Small Heath has long been a school-competitive corner of east Birmingham, with a concentration of primary options popular with families across the city. The Birmingham Canal Navigations, over two hundred miles of waterway, thread through Nechells and the historic industrial north, tracing the city's eighteenth-century rise as the engine of British manufacturing. New Street and Snow Hill stations anchor the West Midlands Rail network, with the West Midlands Metro carrying passengers across the conurbation. Rednal and Kings Norton form the quieter southern fringe. Around 1.2 million people live in the city today.
