Promoting Investment and Economic Development: The Future of Liverpool
Date:
Thursday, 23 September 2010
Liverpool has just been announced as one of the first areas to experience the roll out of the Big Society. This will initially have a focus on culture with a pilot scheme seeing volunteers from across the city deployed to extend the opening hours of the city’s museums.
This conference examines how the city region can build on its existing strengths to attract inward investment and build economic resilience through attracting a greater number of private sector jobs. It will examine the potential of new industries such as renewable technologies and will look at the impact of major projects on Liverpool’s regeneration. It will look at the potential of new governance structures such as Local Enterprise Partnerships and the opportunities the Big Society initiative provides.
The conference will cover the following:
• The opportunities localism and the Big Society provides for cities such as Liverpool
• The regeneration of Liverpool city centre and the impact of public sector funding cuts
• Private sector cities – the new opportunities
• Regenerating Liverpool beyond the city centre
• Benchmarking the regional rail network and delivering local benefits
• Moving from Regional Development Agencies to Local Enterprise Partnerships
• The future for the Liverpool City Region – boosting social innovation and ensuring the regeneration continues despite the change in economic conditions
