Downtown in Business recebeu recentemente um fantástico evento de mesa redonda, centrado em 'A Tale of Two Cities', analisando a regeneração e o desenvolvimento em duas cidades do norte: Liverpool e Manchester. O chefe do DIB, Frank McKenna, se juntou à conversa com o professor Michael Parkinson CBE, que compartilhou seus conhecimentos e conselhos com líderes empresariais. Da história do Liverpool, desde a superpotência imperial até o declínio econômico na segunda metade dos 20
Having written numerous publications on the topic, including ‘Liverpool on the Brink: One City’s Struggles Against Government Cuts’ and ‘Liverpool Beyond the Brink: The Remaking of a Post Imperial City’, Prof. Parkinson shared his wealth of knowledge, giving delegates a whistle-stop tour of Liverpool’s history from imperial superpower to economic decline in latter half of the 20 TH Century. Ele também citou o trabalho de jornalista e autor, Andy Spinoza, destacando as principais partes de sua publicação 'Manchester UNSPUN: pop, propriedade e poder na cidade moderna original'. Ele estava, no entanto, otimista sobre a nova liderança da cidade.
Michael discussed the vast transformation that both the cities of Liverpool and Manchester have undergone over the last few decades as aspiring European cities. He also cited the work of journalist and author, Andy Spinoza, highlighting key parts from his publication ‘Manchester Unspun: Pop, Property and Power in the Original Modern City’.
Furthermore, Prof. Parkinson was open and honest about his thoughts on the future of the cities and described key challenges for Liverpool’s future in particular. He was, however, optimistic about the city’s new leadership.
Thank you to Liverpool BID Company and Sutcliffe for sponsoring this event.
