Liverpool Beyond the Brink is a fascinating commentary on the
economic decline that caused the physical, social and political
fragmentation of the imperial city during the 1970s and the efforts
since then to revive and reconnect it. It charts Liverpool's fall
in the 1980s, its gradual normalisation in the 1990s, its
staggering achievements and, as a European city in the first part
of this century, its efforts to be ambitious in an age of
austerity. This thought-provoking work asks: how far has Liverpool
come and where does it now stand in comparison with thirty years
ago and alongside other cities in the UK? What were the most
important forces driving change? Who helped the most and who helped
the least? Who and where gained the most and who and where gained
the least? Finally, the author asks what is next for Liverpool:
what are the current challenges for the city? Liverpool Beyond the
Brink identifies the key economic, social and political challenges
facing the city today to ensure there is increased productivity,
future development is high quality and that the benefits of the
city's renaissance are experienced by all the people in Liverpool
in all parts of the city. [Cover image: Liverpool Waterfront 2017
