Liverpool City Council, in collaboration with local community groups and the University of Liverpool Architecture School, is currently seeking feedback on proposed enhancements to the public realm in the Chinatown area of Liverpool city center. The focus is on the development of plans for Great George’s Square at the intersection of Upper Pitt Street and Nelson Street, with the ultimate goal of increasing visitor numbers, attracting investment, and cultivating a neighborhood of pride.
Central to the project are two stone lions, gifted by the Chinese Consulate General in Manchester to mark the 25th anniversary of the Liverpool-Shanghai sister cities relationship and officially presented to Liverpool in January.
