Four Corners is a city-wide creative neighbourhoods regeneration programme working with residents, cultural organisations and neighbourhood services. It seeks to examine the life of Liverpool’s Communities by reflecting significant changes – capturing memories, aspirations and supporting community cohesion through positive messages. In 2009 the programme will be themed around Liverpool Year of the Environment: www.ourcityyourplanet.org.uk
Through the creative process Four Corners seeks to address “what makes a neighbourhood?”
