Springfield in the West Midlands represents the type of a modern, emerging English community. While many places in the region have a long history, often defined by heavy industry, Springfield presents itself as a dynamic place to live, whose development is based primarily on residential construction and modern infrastructure. The town attracts primarily people who want to benefit from a high quality of life and the relative proximity to larger economic clusters in the Midlands, without having to forgo the advantages of a more compact, greener environment. The architectural structure is characterized by contemporary residential areas, which have been meaningfully supplemented by social facilities and parks. Springfield is an example of demographic change, as it continuously gains new residents, which in turn drives the local economy and the service sector.
