Liverpool Regeneration

It's one of Europe's biggest regeneration programmes and will create around 14,000 new jobs with an investment of £3billion in the city's redevelopment.  Over the next few years Liverpool will be transformed - it's going to be the most exciting period in Liverpool's history as we prepare to be European Capital of Culture in 2008. 

The city is investing more than £3bn over the next decade in the renewal of its infrastructure and the regeneration of it's communities. In 2007 the city is due to celebrate the 800th anniversary of its creation after the charter of King John and in 2008 will become European Capital of Culture.  The scale of the regeneration work planned to take place before, during and after these events is massive with several major projects already under way or being planned for the near future in association with a range of public and private agencies and developers. 

The projects will transform the life of the city and build upon the already strong sense of community for which Liverpool is famed.  Many of these projects will lead to significant inward investment and economic growth.

Some of the major projects include:

  • The Paradise Project
  • The Kings Waterfront Scheme
  • The Cruise liner Facility
  • CCMS - City Centre Movement Strategy
  • The Pier Head Canal Development
  • Office developments in the commercial district
  • Merseytram
  • The Lime Street Gateway
