Indlela I-Liverpool Esekelwe Emvelweni Entsha Evela Ngayo

“Biodiversity and climate change are linked much in the same way as nature and creativity are connected.” Jackie De Burca

U-John Lennon, we-The Beatles, wayevame ukukhwela phezu kodonga ukuze adlale ku-Strawberry Fields, indawo eyakhuthaza ingoma yama-Beatles edume umhlaba wonke, “Strawberry Fields Forever.”

The ukuxhumana phakathi kwemvelo nokudala has been proven scientifically, so it seems apt that the city that is fondly known by some as “Little Ireland” is amongst a group of pioneering nature-positive cities.

I-Liverpool yaziwa kabanzi njengedolobha elidala, with its rich cultural heritage, thriving arts scene, and innovative spirit. It has been the birth city of many famous creatives, as well as The Beatles.

Umuzi wakhethwa ukuba URBAN GreenUP isinyathelo due to its environmental challenges, unique urban landscape, and commitment to sustainability. But also because of its innovative, creative and collaborative spirit.

Le ndlela eqhutshwa yidatha ivumela idolobha ukuthi lenze izinqumo ezinolwazi, lenze ngokugcwele imizamo yalo esekelwe emvelweni, futhi lilandelele izinzuzo zesikhathi eside zemvelo kanye nomphakathi wendawo.

Ngokusebenzisa amandla obuchwepheshe, i-Liverpool iyakwazi ukuhlanganisa ngaphandle komthungo izixazululo ezisekelwe emvelweni endwangu yasemadolobheni, iqinisekisa ikusasa elisimeme neliqinile lemvelo yayo esekelwe emvelweni.¹⁹.

"Ukuhlanganisa ubuchwepheshe obusezingeni eliphezulu nezisombululo ezisekelwe emvelweni kuyisihluthulelo sokuvula amandla aphelele okuguqulwa kwemvelo kweLiverpool."

Izinhlelo Zezemfundo kanye Nokuqwashisa Ngemvelo

E-Liverpool, imizamo yokufundisa kanye nemikhankaso yokuqwashisa umphakathi idlala indima ebalulekile ekukhuthazeni uguquko olusekelwe emvelweni yedolobha. I²¹ LJMU’s Natural Capital Hub is at the forefront of this effort, advising authorities in the north west and south east on using nature-based interventions to address flood risk²¹. I-Hub iphinde ihlole izikimu zokwakhiwa kwehlathi ezinkulu zezinkampani ezifana ne-Woodland Trust, i-Defra, kanye neHlathi Lomphakathi.²¹. Ngaphezu kwalokho, i-Natural Capital Working Group ye-Liverpool City Region, ephethwe yi-Hub, ihlanganisa ozakwethu ukuze babelane ngedatha namasu.

Ukubandakanya isizukulwane esisha kuyisihluthulelo sokugxila²¹.

LJMU is actively working towards the UN Sustainable Development Goals, with the Natural Capital Hub being a critical element in this pursuit.

The⁹Iphrojekthi ye-URBAN GreenUP, ehilela ozakwethu abangama-25 abavela emazweni ayi-9, nayo igcizelela imfundo yomphakathi nokuqwashisa⁹. The project aims to mitigate climate change risks, increase resilience to climate change effects, and improve air quality in urban areas, with Liverpool, Valladolid (Spain), and Izmir (Turkey) serving as primary trial cities⁹. Imisebenzi yephrojekthi izobandakanya izici zobuchwepheshe ukubandakanya izakhamizi, ukuthuthukisa ukuqwashisa, ukukhuthaza inhlalakahle, kanye nokuhlinzeka ngemisebenzi yokufundisa nokusekela.

Lezi zinhlelo zemfundo kanye nemikhankaso yokuqwashisa umphakathi ibalulekile ekukhuthazeni ukuqonda okujulile ngokubaluleka imisebenzi yangaphandle Liverpool futhi uhambo esimeme Liverpool. Ngokuxoxisana nomphakathi, ikakhulukazi isizukulwane esisha, lezi zinhlelo zivula indlela yekusasa ledolobha elisimeme futhi elihlanganiswe nemvelo.

Amathemba Ekusasa Lemvelo e-Liverpool

Ikusasa le-Liverpool njengendawo yokuvakasha enobungani nemvelo egxile kakhulu ezisombululweni ezisekelwe emvelweni libukeka lithembisa. Leli dolobha selihlonishwe umhlaba wonke ngokuzibophezela kwalo ekuthuthukisweni kwamadolobha okusimeme, njengoba libizwe ngokuthi “iDolobha eliyi-Accelerator” lokuqala emhlabeni ngokusebenza kwesimo sezulu ngaphansi kohlelo lweNhlangano Yezizwe.²². Lokhu kuhlonishwa kugqamisa ukuzinikela kwe-Liverpool ekusebenziseni izisombululo ezisuselwe emvelweni kulo lonke elasemadolobheni.

Umbono Wengqalasizinda Eluhlaza

Izinhloso zesikhathi eside zaleli dolobha zihlanganisa ukukhulisa ingqalasizinda yalo eluhlaza, okumanje ehlanganisa cishe amaphesenti angama-80 wendawo, kanye nokweseka imisebenzi eyizi-8,000 kanye ne-GVA eyizigidi ezingama-£350 esifundeni saseLiverpool City naseWarrington.²². Inani lezomnotho elibanzi lale ngqalasizinda eluhlaza lilinganiselwa ngaphezu kwezigidigidi eziyi-100 zamarandi ngonyaka²². Njengoba idolobha liqhubeka nokubeka phambili izixazululo ezisekelwe emvelweni, izakhamuzi nezivakashi zingalindela ukubona izindawo eziluhlaza eziluhlaza, imizamo yamahlathi asemadolobheni, kanye nokuthuthukiswa kwezinhlobonhlobo zezinto eziphilayo eminyakeni ezayo.

Imigomo Yokusimama Yesikhathi Eside

Alongside its green infrastructure expansion, Liverpool is also working towards long-term sustainability goals. These include enhancing biodiversity, with the mandatory implementation of Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) from 2024 providing significant opportunities to halt the decline of wildlife in the region²³. Idolobhakazi liphinde lihlole izindlela ezintsha zokubhanga ngendawo yokuhlala ukuze liqhubeke nokweseka inzuzo yemvelo, nezindawo ezintathu ezibalulekile zokuThuthukiswa kweMvelo ezihlonzwe njengezindawo okugxilwe kuzo.²³.

Njengoba i-Liverpool iqhubeka nokuhola kwezokuvakasha ezinobungani nemvelo kanye nokuthuthukiswa kwamadolobha okusekelwe emvelweni, ikusasa ledolobha libukeka liba luhlaza ngokuqhubekayo, lizinzile, futhi linothe ngezimangaliso zemvelo ukuze izakhamuzi nezivakashi zijabulele.²²²³.

“Ukuzinikela kweLiverpool ekuthuthukisweni kwamadolobha okusimeme kuyakhuthaza ngempela. Njengedolobha lokuqala emhlabeni elithi 'Accelerator City' lesenzo sezulu, idolobhakazi libeka uphawu lokubonisa ukuthi izixazululo ezisekelwe emvelweni zingaguqula kanjani amadolobha abe izindawo ezinempilo, ezinobungani nemvelo."

– Alison Trent, Sustainability Consultant

Indlela Izakhamuzi Ezingahileleka Ngayo

Imizamo ye-Liverpool yokufisa kwezemvelo ivulele izakhamizi izindlela eziningi zokufaka isandla ekuguqulweni kohlaza kwedolobha. Ngokuzibandakanya namaphrojekthi asendaweni aluhlaza, amaLiverpudlians angadlala indima ebalulekile ekwakheni ikusasa elisimeme lomphakathi wabo.²⁴.

Izenzo Zomuntu Zedolobha Eliluhlaza

Kusukela ekusekeleni ukutshala okulungele impova ukuya ekubambeni iqhaza emicimbini yokutshala izihlahla, kunezinyathelo eziningi zomuntu siqu izakhamuzi ezingazithatha ukuze kukhuthazwe imvelo yasemadolobheni e-Liverpool. Embracing sustainable living practices, such as reducing waste and opting for renewable energy, can also have a significant impact.²⁵

Ukujoyina i-Local Green Initiatives

Residents can further contribute by engaging with community-driven programmes and workshops focused on biodiversity recording, environmental education, and green space stewardship. Volunteering opportunities with local organisations allow individuals to directly shape the city’s nature-based transformation²⁴.

"Ngokusebenza ngokubambisana, singakha i-Liverpool ehlaza, eqinile ezuzisa abantu nemvelo."

Ngale mizamo ehlangene, abantu baseLiverpool bangaqinisekisa ukuguqukela kwedolobha labo ekusaseni elisekelwe emvelweni, bathuthukise indawo yasemadolobheni futhi baqinise ukuxhumana kwabo nemvelo yendawo.²⁴²⁵.

Ikusasa Le-Liverpool Esekelwe Emvelweni

Ukubheka Phambili Endabeni Yendawo Yasemadolobheni Esimeme

Uhambo lwe-Liverpool oluya ekubeni idolobha elisekelwe emvelweni lubonisa amandla ezindawo zasemadolobheni ukwamukela indawo esimeme, eqinile, necebile ngezinhlobonhlobo zezinto eziphilayo. Uhlelo lwe-URBAN GreenUP selubeke isisekelo sezinhlelo eziqhubekayo ezithinta imvelo, ubuholi bedolobha buzwakalise ukuthi banethemba lokuthi namanye amadolobha azolandela lesi senzo.²⁶. Impumelelo yezixazululo ze-Liverpool ezisekelwe emvelweni ikhombisa ukubaluleka kokuxhumana nomphakathi, ukucabanga okusha, kanye nobudlelwano bokusebenzisana ekudaleni izindawo zasemadolobheni ezichumayo, ezinobungani nemvelo.

Imicabango Yokugcina Ngokusebenzisana Nomphakathi

Njengoba iLiverpool iqhubeka nokuguquka ibe idolobha eliluhlaza, eliphileka kakhudlwana, ukubamba iqhaza okusebenzayo kwezakhamizi zayo kuzobaluleka.²⁶. Ukuzibophezela kwedolobha ekubeni 'isifunda sedolobha eliluhlaza kunawo wonke e-UK'²⁶ vele isifake ugqozi lokuzigqaja kanye nobunikazi kubahlali bayo, abazimisele ngokufaka isandla ezinhlelweni ezisekelwe kwimvelo eziqalayo.²⁰.

I-Digitally Generated Transcript Yengcaphuno Yengxoxo NoProf. Michael Parkinson

USolwazi uMichael Parkinson, umbhali kanye “neLiverpool Watcher” ekhuluma noHenry McDonald ngo-2021: Isiqephu esigcwele siyatholakala lapha

[00:01:26] USolwazi uMichael Parkinson: Ngenze okuningi emadolobheni emazweni amaningi, kodwa ngenze igama lami labhala futhi ngikhuluma ngeLiverpool. Ngabhala i-Liverpool on the Brink ngo-1985 eyabonisa ukuwa okuphelele kwedolobha, kwezomnotho, kwezombusazwe, ngokwezimali.

Ngabhala i-Liverpool Beyond the Brink ngo-2019 eyabonisa ukuqhubeka, okumangalisayo, uma ukuvuselelwa kabusha okungaphelele. Ngakho-ke ingxenye engcono kakhulu yomsebenzi wami wobungcweti ngiyichithile ngiyisibukeli seLiverpool futhi bekujabulisa kakhulu.

[00:02:01] UHenry McDonald: Futhi ungumuntu wangaphakathi, akunjalo? Ubukele kancane ngaphakathi.

[00:02:05] USolwazi Michael Parkinson: Ngiyabazi futhi bayangazi. Ngihlala eToxteth. Bengilokhu ngenza uhlobo lomsebenzi engiwenzayo. Kumele wazi abantu, kumele bakwethembe. Futhi ngisabona abantu bezinsuku zakudala ngawo-1980. Ezinye zazo azamukeleki kakhulu kwezombusazwe kulezi zinsuku. Ngiyababona abaphethe iDolobha njalo eminyakeni eyishumi futhi sengiyabazi abantu abaliphethe eDolobheni, abantu bezinkampani ezizimele. Ngokudabukisayo, yebo, ngingumuntu wangaphakathi, kodwa ngisacabanga ukwethembeka.

[00:02:36] UHenry McDonald: Futhi ngaphambi kokuthi singene emininingwaneni yale phrojekthi yenkundla ngabakwaMersey, ucabanga ukuthi yiziphi izizathu zokuvuselelwa kabusha okujwayelekile kusukela endaweni yokubuka lapho ubhala incwadi yakho kusukela ngaleso sikhathi?

[00:02:49] USolwazi uMichael Parkinson: Isethi yonke yezinto engingazisho.

Okokuqala nje, iDolobha lifunde ukuthi kufanele liyeke ukukhononda, ligxeke liqale ligxile kulokho elikwazi kahle futhi lilawule ikusasa lalo. Ngakho ubuholi bushintshile yinto yokuqala okumele ishiwo.

Okwesibili, eminyakeni engama-30 edlule imboni ezimele kanye nezinkampani zikahulumeni zazingaboni ngaso linye. Lokho kushintshile. Ngakho-ke manje usunendlela yobambiswano eyengeziwe futhi kuyisimo sokusebenzisana.

Kukhona ezinye zezinto zendawo, ngicabanga ukuthi kunezici zangaphandle ezibaluleke kakhulu.

Njengoba incwadi yami yabonisa, uhulumeni waseBrithani wenza umehluko omkhulu ngesikhathi etshala imali emadolobheni. ILiverpool yakhuphuka kwathi lapho iyeka ukutshala imali emadolobheni, iLiverpool yehla. Ngakho-ke sonke isigaba sokubuyiselwa kweLiverpool saqondana nohulumeni ababezimisele ngokutshala imali emadolobheni ngokuyisisekelo. Futhi ungabheka lokho ngomthelela kahulumeni kaThatcher noma Omusha wezabasebenzi noma ukuqina noma uhulumeni wobumbano. Ngakho-ke uhulumeni kazwelonke uma emelene namadolobha uye walimaza iLiverpool lapho ephoqelelwe amadolobha asize iLiverpool.

Futhi ngicabanga ukuthi isici esibaluleke kakhulu yi-European Liverpool iyidolobha lokuhweba lomhlaba wonke. Idolobha laseYurophu. Futhi ngokungananazi imali yaseYurophu ngeminyaka yawo-1990 yayiwumehluko phakathi kokuwa kweLiverpool nokululama kweLiverpool. 1.4 billion eminyakeni eyi-10.

I-Europe yazibeka engcupheni futhi yatshala imali eLiverpool lapho uhulumeni kazwelonke engafuni. Futhi yonke leyo mali yaseYurophu yenza isifunda sedolobha sasebenza ndawonye, sigxile empahleni yaso yesimanje, amakhono, abasebenzi, amagugu, ezokuvakasha, isikhungo sedolobha, okuluhlaza kwedijithali. Zonke izinto eziqhuba umnotho weLiverpool manje zikhonjwe yiKhomishini YaseYurophu.

Empeleni inhloko-dolobha yezamasiko e-Europe ngo-2008 kwaba umcimbi obalulekile ngoba wawukhombisa umhlaba ukuthi singaqhuba udaba olufanele. Kuzikhombisile ukuthi singaqhuba udaba olufanele. Futhi kunikeze ama-Scousers ukuzethemba ngempela ukuthi alahlekelwe. Ngakho usuke kuleli siko lokwehluleka waya esikweni lempumelelo. Enye into enkulu kwakunguDuke waseWestminster ngokusebenzisa inkampani yakhe yendawo etshala imali eLiverpool One ngeminyaka yawo-2000. Futhi iLiverpool One iyidolobha elisetshenziswa kakhulu elixubile, intuthuko yekhulu leminyaka engxenyeni enkulu yeYurophu. Cishe yayilingana nemali yeKhomishini YaseYurophu. 1.4 billion. Yashintsha inkaba yedolobha isuka endaweni ekhathele, ewugwadule, engcolile yaya endaweni eyayifanele idolobha elake laba likhulu. Yayixhuma amanzi enkabeni yedolobha nesifunda sezentengiselwano, indawo yezimboni zamasiko.

Kwakukhona imbobo enkulu entubeni emaphakathi futhi imbobo eyodwa yayiyilungisile. Ngakho-ke inhloko-dolobha yezamasiko yase-Europe i-Liverpool yawina ubuholi bendawo, iqembu Labasebenzi lashintsha izindawo zalo lisuka ekubeni yikhanda lezempi elingena ku-Progressive Alliance. Mangisho futhi ukuthi kwakunobuholi obuhle kakhulu ngeminyaka yawo-2000 ngesikhathi iLabour iphethe uHulumeni kaZwelonke kusukela ngo-97 kuya ku-2010 leli dolobha lalingaphethwe ngabaSebenzi, laliphethwe yiLiberal Democrats.

Futhi ngokungananazi umholi wangaleso sikhathi uMike Story, manje osengu-Lord Story kanye nesikhulu esiphezulu uDavid Henshaw, manje uSir David Henshaw walibona ngempela ithuba lokubeka kabusha idolobha futhi ngicabanga ukuthi babeyisithako esibalulekile sendawo esasigcizelela isithako esibalulekile sikazwelonke okuyiLabour. ukutshalwa kwezimali kukahulumeni emadolobheni, okubambe izinkampani ezizimele ngokubona ukuthi singenza imali emadolobheni akhe phezu kokutshalwa kwezimali kwaseYurophu. Ngakho-ke uchungechunge lwezici ezixhumene, kusukela komuntu siqu kuye kwezombusazwe kuya kwezezimali, zitshela indaba ye-Liverpool. Ayiphelele. Ziningi izinkinga lapho singenzanga kahle ngokwanele kwezomnotho, ngokomzimba, ngokwenhlalo, sonke sazi ukuthi kunezinkinga, kodwa akubonakali endaweni esasikuyo eminyakeni engama-35 edlule. Yayine-boom enhle kakhulu futhi empeleni yayine-bust ehloniphekile. Futhi iLiverpool ayizange ibuyele emuva kakhulu ngesikhathi se-austerity kanye nohulumeni womfelandawonye njengoba ibingenza. Ngakho-ke sikhuphuka intaba futhi ngicabanga ukuthi sihlala lapho.

Futhi ngokusobala i-Covid nobhubhane kube yigalelo elikhulu kuwo wonke amadolobha. Siyazi ukuthi kube ukushayisana okukhulu kweLiverpool ngoba okuningi kusekelwe kulokho ongakubiza ngokuthi umnotho wesikhungo sedolobha, ezokuvakasha, ukuthengisa, kodwa futhi kube ibhonasi enhle edolobheni ngoba sinodokotela ofundisayo onamandla kakhulu. okuyinkimbinkimbi okuyiyona ehamba phambili ebhizinisini lezidakamizwa ezithathelwanayo. Ngakho-ke ngakolunye uhlangothi i-Covid ishaye lokho ongakubiza ngokuthi yi-softer bit emnothweni wesikhungo sedolobha laseLiverpool, kodwa lokho kuyinani eliphansi elingeziwe. Kodwa empeleni kudwetshelwe. Singumholi womhlaba kwezinye zalezo zinto ezibalulekile ngempela, ezintsha, nezimbi. Ngakho-ke kuboniswa ukuthi kukhona ngisho nezinkinga okufanele zixazululwe lapho. Siyazi, kepha ngokwezempilo, iLiverpool iyahola. Senza konke ukuhlola kukahulumeni, zonke izinhlelo, bonke abashayeli bezindiza futhi bayasethemba. Ngakho-ke ngicabanga ukuthi kube yisibusiso esixubile kanye nenhlekelele embi ngokusobala kubantu nasemindenini nasemiphakathini.

Kodwa kukhombisile nakwezomnotho ukuthi kusekuningi okumele kuqhubeke iLiverpool.

[00:09:03] UHenry McDonald: Into eyodwa ethokozisayo oyishilo esethulweni sakho ukuletha inkaba yedolobha emanzini.

Manje lokho kungiletha e-Mersey, ikakhulukazi endaweni ebizwa nge-Bramley Moor Dock. Ngitshele ngaleyo phrojekthi, ukuthi izokwenzani kulokhu kuvuselelwa kabusha okuqhubekayo, njengoba ukubiza kanjalo, kwe-Merseyside.

[00:09:21] USolwazi uMichael Parkinson: Umfula wenza iLiverpool yaba idolobha elicebe kakhulu embusweni omkhulu kunayo yonke eyake yabonwa emhlabeni ngaphandle kwaseLondon. Ukuwa kwamadokodo ngeminyaka yama-60s nama-70s kanye nama-80s kudonsele phansi i-Liverpool.

Ngakho-ke umfula ububaluleke kakhulu ekuvuseleleni umnotho wedolobha ukukhuphuka, ukukhuphuka nokuwa. Okwesibili, uMfula ngicabanga ukuthi ungcono kunemifula eminingi ongayibona. Ningase niqophisane eBoston, niphikisane ngeNew York, niphikisane ngeHamburg. Kodwa njengomfula ngokubukeka kuwumbukwane omangalisayo. Yinkulu, ibanzi, iyajabulisa.

Futhi iminyaka engama-30 iLiverpool yafulathela amanzi, yabuyela edolobheni. Ngenkathi inkampani yentuthuko iqala ukusebenza ngeminyaka yama-80s, saqala ukubona indima yomfula kanye ne-waterfront. Futhi ngokukhuthazwa yi-Europe sabona ukuthi kwakuyimpahla esabekayo. Futhi ngicabanga ukuthi isamba esikhulu senziwe. Kodwa kube yingxenye encane kakhulu yomfula, i-waterfront.

Futhi ngicabanga ukuthi kusho ukuthini ngempela ukuthi silungise ingxenye yenkaba yedolobha kanye nengxenye yendawo ehamba emanzini. Manje i-Evan Football Club isithole lezi zinhlelo ezishibhile kakhulu zokubeka esinye sezinkundla ezizinzile, eziluhlaza kakhulu kwenye yezingxenye eziyinselelo enkulu yedolobha laseLiverpool nesikhungo sedolobha, okuyiNorth Liverpool.

Ngakho-ke iphrojekthi esingakhuluma ngayo ngezinombolo ngokuhamba kwesikhathi engaguqula ingxenye embi kakhulu yomfula. Okwamanje ayisetshenziswanga futhi ayinakiwe. Okuwukuphela kwento eseduze nedokodo empeleni imboni yendawo yokuhlanza indle.

Kuyingxenye esondelene kakhulu neNorth Liverpool ekhulele ezikhumulweni zemikhumbi. Futhi lapho amadokodo enqaba yawa. Ngakho-ke leyo ngxenye yedolobha inezinkinga zezomnotho ezimbi kakhulu kunanoma iyiphi isifunda sedolobha laseLiverpool.

And it is physically not more than one mile from the regenerated city center. So Evan Football Club having tried to develop a new stadium for a long time and failed and needing to develop a stadium because it’s a marvelous place but other than too small, have got a grand project to invest in Bramley Moor dock to make a really high quality building which respects heritage, which would form a huge anchor in North Liverpool, would tie that part of the city at Bramley Moor which is the furthest part of the old docks back into the city center and would be a driver of development in that 1 mile between Bramley Moor and frankly the Liber buildings.

Sekuvele kunentuthuko eningi eqhubekayo lapho ngenxa ye-Peel Waters Co. Futhi kunezinto eziningi zokuhlala nezinye izinto zasehhovisi futhi okwenzekayo.

But the football stadium would be a huge economic driver. I mean we could talk about the figures about economic impact. It would be a terrific heritage thing. It would be a great visible project which would attract tourists and it would physically anchor and ensure that the growth of the city went back out into the parts which had failed. So huge symbolic significance, huge cultural significance, huge physical significance and hugely exciting and at the other end of the waterfront where we had the Garden Festival of Michael Heseltine 1984. And I should say Michael Heseltine was, I should have mentioned as who helped fix Liverpool. He did with the Mersey Development Corporation City Challenge with Devolution letting go city regions. Heseltine and national level drove many of the initiatives which helped Liverpool. But we left the Garden Festival site go to Rack and Roam that is now being developed in the south side of the city.

Ngakho-ke lokho okulindelwe yi-Liverpool yintuthuko ezimbili ezinkulu, enye enyakatho, enye eningizimu, yona ngokwayo ebingaba ebaluleke kakhulu kodwa ezogcwalisa wonke umfula wehle uze ufike enkabeni yedolobha.

Lena iphrojekthi enkulu ye-Liverpool entsha.
