A city that is constantly changing, Liverpool has seen major developments announced in 2024. Many of these ambitious schemes are set to change face of the city and its surrounding areas, with improved links across the city region, more housing and the creation of new green spaces.
One of the parts of Liverpool set to be transformed in the near feature is its iconic waterfront, with the arrival of Everton FC’s new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock, ‘green’ plans for the Albert Dock and proposals to build the world’s biggest tidal bridge on the Mersey.
The International Slavery Museum and Maritime Museum on will close on in January 2025, as ‘essential repair and maintenances work’ begins on the Grade I-listed venues, and the Albert Dock’s public realm is set to be improved with works planned to commence in spring 2025.
Other key projects in the Liverpool City Region include plans for a New York-style linear park, the transformation of Birkenhead and proposals set to breathe new life into Huyton’s town centre.
Here we take a look at 23 huge schemes which are aiming to transform parts of the Liverpool City Region in the near future, such as central Liverpool, Birkenhead, the Baltic Triangle and more.
