Council working on major plan for the future of world famous riverside location
The outward face of the city has undergone a huge amount of change and development in recent decades. The multi-billion pound development of Liverpool ONE, major upgrades to the Royal Albert Dock, Pier Head and Kings Dock, the Arena and Convention Centre and the Museum of Liverpool have all helped to create a world class visitor destination and an economic engine for the region.
A report to Liverpool City Council’s Cabinet next Tuesday is seeking approval to launch the search for a team of planning and placemaking specialists, to prepare a strategy and masterplan that will guide the waterfront’s development for the next 10-15 years.
Whilst Liverpool’s waterfront is a thriving destination in the city the council says there are challenges around inequality and deprivation in adjoining neighbourhoods, and there are disparities between the demographics of the wards along and adjoining the waterfront. It is intended that the final waterfront masterplan will be taken forward for adoption as a Supplementary Planning Document .
“As an asset, it has few equals for its history, cultural offer and infrastructure and for its breath-taking architecture. It is one of the principal reasons Liverpool is one of the most visited cities in the UK and why it’s one of the most filmed in Europe, be it hosting Hollywood blockbusters, like Batman, numerous TV mini-series or Taylor Swift’s new pop-video.
