Liverpool 08
|
Being named European Capital of Culture 2008 was arguably the greatest day in Liverpool's recent history.
But what is beyond argument is that 4 June 2003 changed Liverpool. At a stroke, national and international perceptions changed and the image of the city improved.
Already, 2008 is the rocket fuel that is propelling Liverpool's economy, and solid foundations have now been laid for its ongoing transformation into a world-class city. |
