  • Liverpool City Centre Strategic Investment Framework Strategic Priorities and Implementation Annexe
    Liverpool City Centre Strategic Investment Framework Strategic Priorities and Implementation Annexe The projects identified within the Liverpool City Centre Strategic Investment Framework (SIF) relate to either Major Transformational Projects, Strategic Initiatives or Infrastructure. The delivery and implementation of these is of upmost importance to ensure job creation and economic growth is achieved. The following table has been established in collaboration with key stakeholders to ensure that a number of objectives are achieved. The areas for consideration within the table include: • Ownership- Responsibility for lead delivery is allocated to ensure projects are driven forward by the appropriate authority. They will enlist the support of other key stakeholders when appropriate; • Timeframes-The timeframe for delivery is in many instances dependent on the delivery of other linked projects and the project’s ability to deliver jobs. Three timeframes have been identified: 1-3 years for near term projects; 4-8 years for medium term projects; and 9-15 years for long term projects. • Priority- Projects have been prioritised to ensure that jobs are delivered throughout the 15 year duration of the SIF, with an initial boost in the near term to stimulate the economy and ensure that the reduced public sector employment opportunities are replaced by private sector opportunities. High priority projects will therefore be planned, implemented and delivered in the earlier stages of the SIF where funding allows; • Potential funding source- Various options for funding have been identified and other opportunities are expected to become available over the lifetime of the SIF ; and • Outcomes- Each project has been identified and designed to achieve an outcome which will benefit the city’s development, ultimately leading to job creation and economic growth.

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.

  • Liverpool - Maritime Mercantile City World Heritage Site Supplementary Planning Document Public Consultation Summary
    Liverpool - Maritime Mercantile City World Heritage Site Supplementary Planning Document Public Consultation Summary Introduction The overarching aim of this SPD is to “provide a framework for protecting and enhancing the outstanding universal value of Liverpool –Maritime Mercantile City World Heritage Site, whilst encouraging investment and development which secures a healthy economy and supports regeneration. Liverpool has one of the longest and most recognisable waterfronts of any city in the United Kingdom and it has “the largest and most complete system of historic docks anywhere in the world.” Its remarkable history as an international seaport and its outstanding historic environment make it more than just another provincial English city. Indeed, the cultural heritage of Liverpool’s World Heritage Site is of outstanding universal value to the international community. Liverpool is witnessing a remarkable period of regeneration, as it seeks to grow, evolve and to find sustainable uses for its redundant historic docklands and the historic buildings that make such a positive contribution to its urban landscape. Liverpool City Council and its partners are committed to achieving a sensible balance between growth and conservation in this living working city. This SPD aims to provide guidance which will harmonise differing priorities for regeneration and conservation. It is a response to the changing demands of the port and the city, as Liverpool finds a new role in the 21st century, building upon its unique spirit of place. Enhancing Liverpool’s spirit of place is central to maintaining its distinctiveness, encouraging investment and development The Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) has been prepared to guide development, conservation and investment in the Liverpool - Maritime Mercantile City World Heritage Site (WHS) and its Buffer Zone with the aim of protecting the WHS’s Outstanding Universal Value whilst ensuring that it continues to play a leading role in the sustained regeneration of the City and the wider sub-region.

  • Regenerating Liverpool Pier Head Waterfront: the Role of Urban Design
    City, Culture and Architecture 2015; 1(1): 21-38 ISSN: 2148-1938 (Print) ISSN: 2149-8202 (Online) DOI: 10.15340/2148193811851 Research Article Regenerating Liverpool Pier Head Waterfront: the Role of Urban Design Mohamed Fageir1*, Nicole Porter2, Katharina Borsi3 1 2 3 University of Nottingham, UK Abstract: This paper investigates the processes by which the regeneration of the historical Pier Head waterfront in Liverpool took place during the first decade of the twenty-first century. The research focuses on three key regeneration projects at Pier Head Waterfront, namely the Fourth Grace, the New Museum of Liverpool and Mann Island Development. Each of these projects has undergone a relatively different process and, hence, faced different challenges and produced different outcomes. This study is based on a series of lengthy interviews with key stakeholders closely linked with the regeneration of the waterfront, a review of project related documents including urban design policy and guidance, a substantial review of relevant news articles that were written throughout the period of the recent transformation of the waterfront, and numerous site visits. By understanding the peculiarities of the global forces that drive large scale developments and the local context in which they occurred at Pier Head, several insights regarding the process of regeneration emerge. Findings foreground the role of urban design in urban waterfront regeneration, illustrating that despite the complexity of managing change, urban design has the capacity to mediate between the local and global forces and the needs/ desires of investors and local communities. Urban design is also imperative for challenging the negative impact of globalisation on the urban landscape.

Several businesses spoke positively of Glasgow‟s experience as European City of Culture and hoped (or indeed expected) that Liverpool and Merseyside would similarly benefit from 2008 and its consequences.

  • City Center Regeneration to Drive Economic Competitiveness? the Case Study of Liverpool One
    LHI Journal (2017) 8(2):91-102 http://dx.doi.org/10.5804/LHIJ.2017.8.2.091 http://lhi.lh.or.kr City Center Regeneration to Drive Economic Competitiveness? The Case Study of Liverpool One Alex Nurse1 (Received February 15, 2017 / Revised April 22, 2017 / Accepted April 27, 2017) ABSTRACT This paper discusses how urban regeneration can be used to drive economic competitiveness using the case study of Liverpool One, in Liverpool, United Kingdom. With a process which began in 1999, Liverpool One resulted in over 42 hectares of land being redeveloped as part of a wholesale rejuvenation of Liverpool City Centre. This contributed to Liverpool becoming the fastest growing UK region outside of London. In discussing Liverpool One, the paper outlines some of the planning challenges faced during its construction and what this successful regeneration project now means for those seeking to develop within the city centre, whilst drawing out some of the lessons international planners and developers might learn from Liverpool. Key words : City Centres, Retail, Liverpool, United Kingdom, Urban Regeneration 1. Introduction This includes (but is not limited to) reducing business rates, creating enterprise zones and programmes of urban regeneration In the United Kingdom, in the aftermath of the report of the which can offer new and attractive premises for potential Urban Task Force (Urban Task Force, 2005) which called for investors (Parkinson and Harding, 1995).
