Liverpool World Heritage Site Management Plan 2017 LIVERPOOL MARITIME MERCANTILE CITY WORLD HERITAGE SITE MANAGEMENT PLAN 2017 - 2024 Prepared by LOCUS Consulting Ltd LIVERPOOL WORLD HERITAGE SITE MANAGEMENT PLAN // 1 GEORGE’S HALL GEORGE’S DETAIL OF MINTON TILES, ST TILES, ST MINTON OF DETAIL LIVER BIRD LIVER LIVERPOOL WORLD HERITAGE SITE MANAGEMENT PLAN // 2 Foreword I am pleased to introduce this Liverpool Maritime Mercantile City World Heritage Site Management Plan for the City of Liverpool, for the period 2017-2024. We in Liverpool are rightly proud of our heritage assets. Historic areas of our city centre and waterfront have been designated a World Heritage Site, recognised by UNESCO in 2004 as a supreme example of a maritime mercantile city. We accept that this great honour brings responsibilities and we are determined to care for our heritage, by applying sound conservation policies and good practice. The World Heritage Site Management Plan will have a crucial role to play in ensuring that the objectives of conservation and regeneration are both achieved. Since its nomination, Liverpool has made great strides to protect its World Heritage Site and in many ways the city has set a new bar in conservation efforts. The Council’s Buildings at Risk programme continues to be the most successful project of its type in England with a 75% reduction in its ‘at risk’ buildings in the past decade and 37 listed buildings upgraded within the World Heritage Site. We recognise more needs to be done to promote the appeal of the World Heritage Site and raise awareness with the public and developers and this new management plan is an important step. The opening of the RIBA North centre in 2017 will see the provision of a hub for Liverpool’s World Heritage Site within the new City Gallery. A programme of tours, events and information material will help us promote the opportunities and interest of the World Heritage Site to residents and visitors. Liverpool is a city undergoing an £11bn renaissance and we need to find the right balance where regeneration and conservation can complement each other. The Stanley Dock complex on Liverpool’s North Shore is a great example of how that can be achieved and this plan sets out the right guidelines to ensure that template is adopted across the World Heritage Site. Liverpool’s unique blend of old and new is part of what makes it different. Our aim is to conserve the city’s cultural heritage to the highest standards of good practice while integrating contemporary architecture. In this way we can continue to create a distinctive and exciting urban landscape, combining the best of new design with the most significant historic buildings. I would like to express my thanks to: Historic England for assisting with funding for the preparation of this document, to the World Heritage Site Steering Group and Historic England for providing guidance throughout its preparation and to all those individuals and organisations which made representations during the public consultation.

Management Plan recognises the mutually- supporting agendas of growth and conservation and the continued desire for Liverpool to prosper. The City has excelled at improving the condition of its heritage, reducing ‘Heritage at Risk’ percentages to less than half of the national average. Significant private investment and a robust change management framework have been instrumental to this end. However, the World Heritage Site (WHS) faces major challenges. In 2012, the World Heritage Committee placed Liverpool on the World Heritage in Danger list. Liverpool must ensure the continued protection, conservation, presentation and transmission to future generations of the cultural heritage of Outstanding Universal Value of the WHS. The sustainable future management of the property is a fundamental part of the approach to achieving this. The purpose of the Liverpool WHS Management Plan is to ensure the effective protection of the WHS for present and future generations.

  • 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.

  • 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.
