Opinions vary about this, but numerous examples of successful online media campaigns abound, such as Barack Obama‟s use of social media during the US Presidential campaign. Today, other governments are quick to utilise similar environments, and 10 Downing Street has accounts with both YouTube and Flickr, the popular websites used for video and photo sharing respectively. Additionally, marketing and communications departments in business, industry, the arts and the media are rapidly re-organising their strategies around the rise of digital convergence and in light of evidence that demonstrates the decline (or fragmentation) of mass media audiences. These circumstances are pertinent to the hosting of European Capital of Culture by Liverpool in 2008. In short, if we want to understand how audiences were engaged during 2008, we need to complement a range of surveys and reporting with analyses of online activity, which have the potential to reflect both broader media perspectives and the views of people on the street.

    Guide to Liverpool Waterfront

    Guide to Liverpool Waterfront “Three Graces” – Together the Royal Liver Building, Cunard Building and the Port of Liverpool Building make up the Mersey’s ‘Three Graces’ and are at the architectural centre of Liverpool’s iconic waterfront. A massive engineering project has recently extended the canal in front of these three buildings, adding beautifully landscaped seating areas and viewpoints along the canal and the river. Museum of Liverpool – this brand new museum, opened in 2011 is a magnificent addition to Liverpool’s waterfront. Celebrating the origins and heritage of the city, it features collections from National Museums Liverpool that have never been seen before. Otterspool Promenade – The construction of Otterspool Promenade (1950) provided both a new amenity for Liverpool and an open space dividend from the disposal of Mersey Tunnel spoil and household waste; a project repeated three decades later to reclaim the future International Garden Festival site. A favourite with kite fliers this often overlooked wide open space is perfect for views of the river and picnics Antony Gormley’s “Another Place” - These spectacular sculptures by Antony Gormley are on Crosby beach, about 10 minutes out of Liverpool. Another Place consists of 100 cast-iron, life-size figures spread out along three kilometres of the foreshore, stretching almost one kilometre out to sea. The Another Place figures - each one weighing 650 kilos - are made from casts of the artist's own body standing on the beach, all of them looking out to sea, staring at the horizon in silent expectation. Mersey Ferry - There's no better way to experience Liverpool and Merseyside than from the deck of the world famous Mersey Ferry listening to the commentary.

  • A Vision for North Shore

    A Vision for North Shore

    View from Lee - north to south Published September 2020 3 North Shore Vision I am pleased to introduce this North Shore Vision for the Liverpool Maritime Mercantile City World Heritage Site. Foreword Liverpool is a city that is undergoing a multi-billion pound renaissance and we are constantly seeking the right balance where regeneration and conservation can complement each other. We are proud of our unique heritage and have a desire to ensure that the city continues to thrive, with its historic legacy safeguarded and enhanced. On 17 July 2019, Liverpool City Council declared a Climate Change Emergency and I led a debate on the impending global ecological disaster, calling on all political parties to come together to rise to the challenge of making Liverpool a net zero carbon city by 2030. The way we do things in the future will need to change to a more sustainable model. To achieve this, the city has embraced the principles of the United Nations Development and this document sets out our ambitions for future growth and development for the North Shore area of the city firmly within this context. We have already begun work with partners to deliver that ambition. Existing and highly successful examples include the iconic Titanic Hotel redevelopment, restoration of the Tobacco Warehouse and the proposed refurbishment of the listed Engine House at Bramley Moore Dock which reinvigorate dilapidated heritage assets on the North Docks, providing access and interpretation to a new generation of people in the City. Liverpool has a well-earned reputation for being a city of firsts.

    Report on Atlantic (Ocean) Gateway to Executive on 11 March 2009

    Manchester City Council Item16 Executive 11 March 2009 Manchester City Council Report for Resolution Report To: Executive – 11th March 2009 Subject: Atlantic (Ocean) Gateway Report of: The Chief Executive Summary This report seeks to inform Members about an initiative, initially by Peel Holdings, which has potential implications for the economic growth of the city region. Recommendations That Executive:- (a) Acknowledge that there maybe some opportunities arising as a result of the Atlantic Gateway concept which have the potential to support the Manchester City Region Growth agenda (b) Agree that these opportunities need to be explored and evidenced in the context of the emerging Regional Strategy (c) Agree that the Council cannot support Atlantic Gateway as a concept of growth until more detailed evidence is made available and the concept is better defined and understood (d) Agree that, in close collaboration with other AGMA Authorities, the Council stands prepared to work constructively with Government Office, the NWDA and other agencies to develop an evidential base to ensure that the concept is appropriately defined, and bring forward aspects of the overall concept which promote and complement city region regeneration priorities. (e) Urge the NWDA to commission an economic, environmental and social cost benefit analysis of the concept and emerging proposals to: • maximise long-term sustainable economic growth • understand the impacts (positive and negative) that the pursuit of the concept could have on the abilities of the city-regions to drive overall regional growth • assist in ensuring public investment/intervention is better aligned and appropriately targeted (f) Request that Officers report back to this Executive on progress on these matters at relevant times.
