Impacts08 Baseline Report 2006/07

Liverpool City Council,
01 January 2007, England

The main aim of Impacts 08 is to develop an exemplary, longitudinal ‘Liverpool Model’ for cultural impact assessment that will measure and analyse the socio-economic and cultural impacts of Liverpool’s European Capital of Culture programme. The core objectives are to: provide longitudinal impact analysis of cultural programmes and events (both retrospectively, to cover the impact of the bid itself, and up to 2009/10); provide intelligence to guide decision-making within the cultural programme and marketing strategy; grow the evidence base for the impact of culture upon regeneration and city renaissance (to inform national debate, influence funding decisions, and assist regional cultural planning); provide a replicable model that will add to the legacy of 2008 (e.g. for future Capitals of Culture or similar large-scale projects elsewhere, but also to inform other large programmes specifically in Liverpool).
