Anfield Square, Liverpool City Council
PLACED were commissioned by Liverpool City Council to deliver community engagement on the future of Anfield Square, a prominent site on Walton Breck Road next to Liverpool Football Club’s stadium. Once home to terraced housing, the site is now fenced off and underused. As part of Anfield’s wider regeneration, the Council is exploring how this space can be transformed into something high quality, creative and valuable to local people.

Working alongside JLL and LDA Design, we led a series of community engagement activities in early 2023. This included creative workshops with local primary schools and young people, and pop-up events at Liverpool Lighthouse – a community space near the site. Our sessions were supported by project team volunteers and PLACED Ambassadors with personal connections to Anfield, helping ensure conversations were rooted in local knowledge and relationships.

Insights from our engagement have supported Liverpool City Council in shaping a development brief for the site. A strong theme was the need for development that benefits the community and contributes positively to the high street. In May 2023, we returned to Anfield to share feedback with residents, keeping the community informed as the project moves forward.
“So much to offer – a sleeping giant.”
