QUESTION TIME | LIVERPOOL
Liverpool’s thriving economy..
Everyman Cinema, Metquarter, Liverpool, L1 6DA | 19.11.2019
Liverpool is the fastest growing UK city outside of London. As a destination boasting a vibrant cultural hub and emphasis on creating exceptional quality of life it’s no wonder the city has a young, creative, growing population. With a third of the workforce currently aged 16-19 and a fifth in their 20s, it’s the young professionals creating businesses which is driving the economic growth in the city.
But with the lack of Grade A offices, the competition for space is fierce. As a result, new infrastructure and private property developments are popping up all over the city, offering large boosts to the economy and investors alike. So, what next for this thriving city?
- - How will Liverpool ensure it remains strong competition for its neighbouring cities?
- - Will the city be able to provide flexible office spaces for the young, growing workforce?
- - And what’s on the agenda for ensuring Liverpool remains a top destination?
