Professor Walter Menzies, Former Chief Executive, Mersey Basin Campaign

The economy is engulfed in a perfect storm of resource inefficiency, inequalities, value destruction - and the abandonment of regions and regional planning. It is the wholly owned subsidiary of the environment. How to evolve from the age of stupid towards utopia - the world’s cleanest urban river in a landscape and cityscape for prosperity by 2030? Smart, sustainable development with a redefinition of northern prosperity is the only credible route. This demands a visionary, area-focused initiative. Over twenty-five years, the Mersey Basin Campaign proved that regeneration of degraded waters and watersides on an unprecedented scale was achievable. Its critical success factors can help shape its successor - the emerging Atlantic Gateway Partnership - as the next transformative global exemplar
