Liverpool is one of the most famous trading cities in the world. The view of its Pier Head with the Liver Building has become iconic: it has been called the second city of the British Empire and in the 1930s it became the model for Shanghais Bund. The city suffered a slow decline in the latter half of the 20th century; industries closed or moved away, postwar architecture was mostly mediocre and the citys population fell as citizens sought employment further afield. Local people even began to shop elsewhere. As Manchesters star ascended in the late 1990s, the heart of Liverpool was in danger of becoming economically inconsequential.In 1999, the city council set out a challenge for international developers as part of an ambitious initiative to reverse this trend and encourage people to visit, live in and invest in Liverpool once again. The vision was for a reimagined and extended city centre, one that rethought the vast and underused space between the principal shopping area and the citys historic docks. Fortyseven developers expressed an interest and, after a rigorous selection process, the job went to Grosvenor.The result is a 42acre transformation, a mixeduse, retailled development that embodies both contemporary urban design thinking and a deep sensitivity to ideas of place, identity and scale. Containing more than 30 individually designed buildings including department stores, a bus station, apartments, hotels and a five acre park this complex project was completed within an ambitious timetable to exceptionally highquality thresholds. Grosvenor, and its 26 firms of architects, have created an entirely new, but uniquely Liverpudlian, urban district. This book tells the story of this Herculean project, its origins, its design and its delivery.
