The city needs to get real. There has to be something to attract people to the city. The Albert Dock made the city attractive near the centre and was the start of giving the city some positive image - water always works, something they do not recognise or have forgotten.
But companies and people require more than that. A rapid transport infrastructure attracts people. The city should have insisted on having the underground uprated and re-used and an extension to John Lennon airport. Put together convincing staged plans and emphasise how essential it is for growth - which such systems are.
The city has not even put together a plan to the DfT in London to re-use the tunnels and get the city zipping along. If the infrastructure is there companies will find the place attractive and move in, along with people. This should have all been put together 10 years ago.

The city seems to think that when companies and people come they will uprate Merseyrail. How wrong they are. They put the cart before the horse.
Gavin Stamp in, Britain's Lost Cities, says "Liverpool is its own worst enemy". He is partially right.
