About the Tour: Brick, Steel and Skyline: An Introduction to Liverpool's Waterfront Remix
Join the RIBA North West Heritage, Conservation and Sustainability Group for Brick, Steel and Skyline: An Introduction to Liverpool's Waterfront Remix, an engaging walking tour exploring the transformation of one of the UK's most iconic urban landscapes.

The tour will highlight key buildings, public spaces and regeneration projects that demonstrate how Liverpool balances its rich architectural legacy with the demands of a dynamic twenty-first-century city.
This walking tour provides an opportunity to reflect on themes of heritage conservation, sustainability and place-making, encouraging discussion about the future of historic urban environments. Whether you are an architect, built environment professional, student or simply interested in Liverpool's changing cityscape, this tour offers a compelling introduction to a waterfront where industrial grit meets glossy regeneration, creating a unique and ever-evolving urban identity.
