Big Dig (Liverpool)
The Big Dig was a collection of various civil engineering projects in Liverpool to regenerate the city.
The scheme was a ten-year plan for the city's 2008 European Capital of Culture status. The city gained a new shopping centre Liverpool One. It cost around £3bn and created 14,000 jobs and included a rationalisation of the city centre traffic network.[1]
Criticism
Implementation of the scheme was protracted and severely hampered the ability of the city to perform as a commercial centre. The cancellation of the 2007 Mathew Street Festival was directly attributed to the 'big dig'.
gollark: No they do not.
gollark: > hates power of individual players> wanted creative
gollark: Meh.
gollark: e.g. one person has a blaze XP farm and a bunch of enchanted books they can copy and sell
gollark: The way it tends to work is that the very rich players mostly got that way via real estate, good GPUs/getting in early (it runs on a proof of work currency), or being on the original version of the server, and they have large turtle swarms and stuff, but a few people have specialized infrastructure and end up depended upon for stuff.
