The Liverpool CONNECTIVITY project has increased the City’s resilience to climate change effects. Works included planting 186 new trees, creating new people-friendly places and sustainable urban drainage systems, whilst enhancing pedestrian and cyclist routes in and out of the city. It has also been part of a wider EU Urban GreenUP initiative to develop innovative solutions to renaturing urban plans. The project has developed and implemented a variety of Nature Based Solutions (NBS). The Strand [waterfront] and Lime Street are the two key areas that have been completely re-imagined.
The Strand is at the epicentre of Liverpool’s renowned waterfront, next to the infamous Liver Building. This revamp is both human-centric and environmentally conscious – with over 100 new trees connected with a flood alleviation SUDS network. It exemplifies the very best of green infrastructure projects, with new pedestrian squares, segregated cycle lanes and on-going data analysis of storm water, water filtration and air quality.
Lime Street Railway Station is considered the gateway to Liverpool and previously greeted visitors with a confusing labyrinth of roads, both difficult and dangerous to cross. The project reorganised the way people move about the city, with a new emphasis on cycling, walking and people friendly car-free spaces.
“Liverpool City Centre is changing for the better. The improvements to The Strand and Lime Street, reducing traffic, more space for pedestrians, and especially the new top-quality cycle lanes, are immense. It will do so much to reconnect our world-famous Waterfront with the rest of town.” – Liverpool Cycling Commissioner, Simon O’Brien
Awards: Winner – CIHT Healthy Transport Award | Highly commended – CIHT Creating Better places | Commended – CIHT Infrastructure Award | International Loop Design Award Public Space Category Winner | The Voyage – International D&AD Award Winner
