Impacts 08
Impacts 08 is a joint research initiative of the University of Liverpool and Liverpool John Moores University, which evaluates the social, cultural, economic and environmental effects of Liverpool’s hosting the European Capital of Culture title in 2008.
Since 2005 our research programme, commissioned by Liverpool City Council, has been examining the progress and impact of this experience on the city and its people. Our aim is to develop a model for evaluating the multiple impacts of culture-led regeneration programmes that can be applied to events across the UK and internationally.
