  • Liverpool Development Update
    LIVERPOOL DEVELOPMENT UPDATE November 2016 Welcome Welcome to the latest edition of Liverpool Development Update. When I became Mayor of the city in 2012, I said that Liverpool’s best days were ahead of it. If you consider the levels of investment being seen across the city today in 2016, my prediction is now ringing true. Since the start of 2012, we have seen over £3.8 billion worth of investment which has brought new businesses, new homes, new schools, and new and improved community and health facilities to Liverpool. We have seen the creation of nearly 15,000 job spaces, many of which will be filled with new jobs to the city. We have also created thousands more construction jobs. There is more good news. Several major new schemes are now in delivery mode. I am pleased to see rapid progress on Derwent’s Liverpool Shopping Park at Edge Lane, whilst Project Jennifer is now well underway with construction about to commence on its new Sainsburys and B&M stores. In addition, Neptune Developments have started work on the Lime Street Gateway project, and I can also report that work is underway on the first phase of the Welsh Streets scheme that will now see many of the traditional terraces converted to larger family homes. Meanwhile, some of the new schemes have started under the Strategic Housing Delivery Partnership which will build a further 1,500 new homes and refurbish another 1,000 existing ones. Plans for new schemes continue to be announced. The Knowledge Quarter is to be expanded with a new £1billion campus specialising in FRONT COVER: research establishments, whilst we are now also seeking to expand the Commercial Office District with new Grade A office space at Pall Mall which this city so vitally needs.

  • The Art of Regeneration: the Establishment and Development of the Foundation for Art and Creative Technology, 1985–2010
    The Art of Regeneration: the establishment and development of the Foundation for Art and Creative Technology, 1985–2010 Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of Liverpool for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Jane Clayton School of Architecture, University of Liverpool August 2012 iii Abstract The Art of Regeneration: the establishment and development of the Foundation for Art and Creative Technology, 1985-2010 Jane Clayton This thesis is about change. It is about the way that art organisations have increasingly been used in the regeneration of the physical environment and the rejuvenation of local communities, and the impact that this has had on contemporary society. This historical analysis of the development of a young art organisation, the Foundation for Art and Creative Technology (FACT), which has previously not been studied in depth, provides an original contribution to knowledge with regard to art and culture, and more specifically the development of media and community art practices, in Britain. The nature of FACT’s development is assessed in the context of the political, socio- economic and cultural environment of its host city, Liverpool, and the organisation is placed within broader discourses on art practice, cultural policy, and regeneration. The questions that are addressed – of local responsibility, government funding and institutionalisation – are essential to an understanding of the role that publicly funded organisations play within the institutional framework of society, without which the analysis of the influence of the state on our cultural identity cannot be achieved. The research was conducted through the triangulation of qualitative research methods including participant observation, in-depth interviews and original archival research, and the findings have been used to build upon the foundations of the historical analysis and critical examination of existing literature in the fields of regeneration and culture, art and media, and museum theory and practice.

  • Global Game, Local Identity: the Social Production of Football Space in Liverpool
    GLOBAL GAME, LOCAL IDENTITY: THE SOCIAL PRODUCTION OF FOOTBALL SPACE IN LIVERPOOL DANIEL EVANS A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS GRADUATE PROGRAM IN GEOGRAPHY YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO August, 2014 © Daniel Evans, 2014 ii Abstract Based on participant observation of matches and interviews with key informants in Liverpool, UK, this thesis sets out the situation of the globalized English Premier League and its consequences for football (soccer) fandom in Liverpool. I am looking at both the reliance on and resistance to a tourist based consumption of the game. Using a Lefebvrian theoretical framework I analyze how football space is created in Liverpool and how the supporters’ groups of different teams in the city work to both globalize and glocalize the football culture of the city, and are looking to reshape their relationship with football’s current economic and cultural space. As Liverpool increasingly relies on a tourist-based economy with sport as its focus, it is altering the relationship between supporters and their clubs, and with other fans. The monitoring of fan performances by both authorities and other fans can be considered through Foucauldian conceptions of power to continuously shift the dynamics between different groups of supporters. iii Acknowledgements As I spend much of this thesis discussing the formation of social groups and the importance of community, I must acknowledge the many people that helped me in the creation of this work. First, my informants, who helped me understand the football world in Liverpool: Paul Gallagher, Jay McKenna, John Bennett, Andrew Sherlock, Ros Merkin, James Benson, Mike Humphries, Chris Stirrup, Feargal McAvoy, and Steve Kelley.

  • Whs-Spd-Lowres
    United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization Liverpool Maritime Mercantile City World Heritage Site Supplementary Planning Document Adopted October 2009 Foreword Foreword by Peter Millea, Executive Member for Regeneration and John Kelly, Executive Director Regeneration This Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) for the World Heritage Site (WHS) is issued following extensive public consultation by Liverpool City Council. The City Council and partners have noted the representations made by many that the WHS should contribute to the regeneration, visitor economy and local sense of civic pride in Liverpool, over coming months and years. The City Council will therefore commit more resources to promotion and interpretation of the WHS to ensure that its unique cultural heritage is fully utilised, as well as being properly conserved. The purpose of the SPD is to provide a planning framework for development which will enhance the city’s heritage and boost investment, tourism and regeneration. Above all, it is intended as a policy document which will encourage economic regeneration with an emphasis on quality. It is part of an emerging statutory development framework for the city which will outline more specific guidance on land allocations to prioritise target areas for economic growth for the whole city, including the World Heritage Site and areas bordering on it. The SPD includes important principles about World Heritage Site management in the longer term, with the emphasis on preserving and enhancing Liverpool’s outstanding universal value and the quality of its public realm. However, it is being issued at a time when the global and UK economy is contracting and a main priority for the City Council is the city’s continuing economic regeneration.

  • Liverpool Retail Study
    Submission Document 13.4.1 Liverpool Retail Study Vitality and Viability Appendix September 2016 Prepared by GL Hearn Limited Vantage Point Hardman Street Spinningfields Manchester M3 3HF Liverpool Retail Study, September 2016 Vitality and Viability Appendix INTRODUCTION 1.1 The NPPF and PPG state that LPA’s should identify a network and hierarchy of centres which is resistant to change. The hierarchy of centres in Liverpool has been established in the 2006 Liverpool UDP. This consists of Liverpool City Centre along with 29 District and Local Centres. 1.2 Subsequent to the UDP, GL Hearn was commissioned by Liverpool Council in 2009 to complete a District and Local Centres Study to assess the health of the cities centres and make recommendations for their improvement. The study found that the health of district and local shopping centres across Liverpool varies and with a few exceptions the majority of the centres have deteriorated over time. It was felt that a number of the centres across the City were too large and dissipated and required consolidation. Some centres would benefit from improvements to the public realm and environmental quality of place and shopping experience. 1.3 The study recommended that a strategic approach was required to investment in district and local centres across the city. This should seek to focus investment to deliver a sustainable hierarchy of centres across the City which effectively serve their local catchment, draw together opportunities for public and private sector investments and coordinated the management and marketing of the district and local centres to support trading prospects. 1.4 The study suggested a four tier structure; City Centre, District Centre, Local Centre and Neighbourhood Centres.

  • Liverpool Outing Notes for Participants
    Ilkley & District u3a SUMMER PROGRAMME 2021 Some notes for those participating in the visit to LIVERPOOL on 22 July. Postcodes are included so that if you wish you can orientate yourself on your phone using Google maps. The CITY of LIVERPOOL Liverpool stands on the eastern side of the Mersey estuary, where the river flows into the Irish sea. It became a borough in 1207, a city in 1880 and an independent borough apart from Lancashire in 1889. Throughout the Industrial Revolution Liverpool grew as a major port and the city expanded (see Old Dock tour below). In the 19th century Liverpool was a major port of departure for English and Irish emigrants to North America. Modern Liverpool has a population of 500,000 in 30 council wards (yes, Knotty Ash is a real place!). The city is closely associated with the arts, especially music. ALBERT DOCK L3 4AF At the beginning of the 19th century 40% of global trade passed through Liverpool’s docks. Albert Dock was opened by Prince Albert in 1846. Its enclosed design and direct loading and unloading of goods from warehouses meant that the complex was more secure than other docks. It became a popular store for valuable cargoes including brandy, cotton, tea, silk, tobacco, ivory and sugar. Today the former warehouses contain new museums, shops, bars and restaurants. FERRY ‘CROSS THE MERSEY L3 1HN The return trip from the Pierhead takes 50 minutes and costs £3.70. It provides fine views of Liverpool’s UNESCO World Heritage waterfront, often with the iconic song by Gerry Marsden & the Pacemakers playing in the background.
