I don't know if you literally don't know what UNESCO is, but the point is the opposite of promoting 'progressive industrial' development of historical sites.
- iso1631 5y agoThe irony being Liverpool is not a historical site - it barely existed until the 18th century. It's known for its industrial heritage.
- chrisseaton 5y agoThere’s been quite a lot of world history since the 18th century. Think of some of the events seen from these buildings, like the announcement of the sinking of the Titanic - that building was recently restored. And I think Liverpool has some architecture world firsts - first curtain wall I think. Plus aren’t other major industrial sites heritage sites? Saltaire? So I don’t see the irony that you do.
