My feelings are that the population of inner city Liverpool is far from declining after the mass exodus from the 60s to the 80s. Albeit, a lot of the current city centre population is student based but that again shows confidence in our city and inner city living, whether it be outsiders or locals is definitely back in vogue again - again, a mass turnaround from 1980s policy.
Peel as a private Company, ie. pumping their own money into these developments, should be encouraged, they are unlikely to want to flush money away on something they don't see as feasibly or sustainable and again, as with Grosvenor, it's private investment so some big money people are obviously seeing something in the city's future which after all, is what manchester has been doing for years so if we don't want to slip even further behind we have to move with the times and not stagnate.

The likes of the rope walks, the old docklands and delapidated brown field sites have seen a renaissance in recent years and i'm all for it.
