HOUSING REGENERATION Liverpool Waterfront
The Big Question! Will they stay?
Introduction • The recent round of regeneration in the waterfront area appears to have been hugely successful, as demand continues to outstrip supply. • However, will the area be able to retain its newfound residents, or will the area slip in to decline after this initial boom?
Don’t Take Our Word for It! These are some of the comments of from residents in the area:
Quotes from Sue Smith, Waterloo Quay “It fitted into the environment better than those at Clipper Quay and Mariners Wharf”. “I love the feel of the place, it has viewing gaps after each block which creates a more spacious environment, I wanted to get away from the estate environment that I had previously put up with.”
“quiet with a good atmosphere, the development mirrored the original architecture of the Waterloo Warehouse”
“Mistakes were made in the construction. I have a friend who lives on the development and despite the fact that the flats are beautiful, the place is soulless”. “It’s a long mass of soulless flats, with very few breaks and no real character”
“I think Liverpool is a dirty city. There is litter everywhere”. She went on to comment on the disused buildings. “there are two disused shops on either side of exchange flags….they look awful, the windows have never been cleaned…..surely it wouldn’t take much to put displays in each window for example about the two football clubs”
