liverpool, reasons for regeneration

housing got too expensive, old people and families moved to the countryside so unemployment grew and factories closed down, the city had derelict landscapes, ruined buildings and deprived neighbourhoods, many historic buildings were suffering decay, outmigration and unemployment led to houses and areas being boarded up and vandalised, high drug and crime rates, reduced personal income meant less was spent in shops and on services so further job loss in retail/services, less money available to city council to maintain housing, businesses left reducing job opps, suffered from multiple deprivation and pop fell by 28%, economic and social deprivation
