Due to developments on Liverpool\u2019s waterfront, including Everton\u2019s new stadium at Bramley Moore Dock, the city has lost its UNESCO World Heritage status.<\/p>\n
After voting by its members, UNESCO\u2019s World Heritage Committee in China made the decision. According to a report released by the committee in June, waterfront development on the city\u2019s waterfront has resulted in an \u201cirreversible loss of attributes\u201d.<\/p>\n
A UNESCO statement read: \u201cLiverpool\u2019s historic centre and docklands were inscribed for bearing witness to the development of one of the world\u2019s major trading centres in the 18th and 19th centuries.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe site also illustrated pioneering developments in modern dock technology, transport systems and port management.\u201d<\/p>\n
The city of Liverpool has been on UNESCO\u2019s List of World Heritage in Danger since 2012 due to \u201cconcerns about the proposed development of Liverpool Waters.\u201d\u00a0In 2004, Liverpool was inducted into UNESCO\u2019s World Heritage List alongside the Taj Mahal and the Great Wall of China. During the list\u2019s history, only three other sites have lost their status since 1978.<\/p>\n
At Bramley Moore Dock, Everton plans to begin construction on their 52,888-seat stadium on July 26. During the 2024\/25 season, the club hopes to move from Goodison Park to their new stadium. According to Everton, the new stadium is expected to create up to 15,000 jobs (12,000 during construction) and boost the city\u2019s economy by around \u00a31 billion. The stadium is expected to attract around 1.4 million visitors to the city and more than \u00a3255m will be spent in the local supply chain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
