The Liverpool Regeneration Framework Strategy provides a plan for the comprehensive physical regeneration of the City Centre of Liverpool. The main design principles are connectivity; approachability; quality public realm; mixed-uses; conservation; and quality design.

Framework recommendations include a focused approach to public and private investment in improvements for the City’s infrastructure and public realm, as well as a comprehensive approach to marketing the City for inward investment and job creation.

To ensure deliverability, the Framework also identifies seven key areas of investment, which will, in turn, stimulate the regeneration of the surrounding districts.

Key target dates for the implementation of many Framework ideas have been established as 2007, Liverpool’s 800th “birthday,” and 2008, Liverpool’s designated year as the European Capital of Culture.
