Liverpool - Port marchand retiré de la liste en
Royaume-Uni
Located in the United Kingdom, this site comprises the historic merchant port of Liverpool, which was formerly inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The port represents a significant example of nineteenth-century maritime commerce and international trade infrastructure. The site's historical importance lies in its role as a major hub for transatlantic trade, including the Caribbean sugar and slave trade that shaped the city's development. The architectural and urban fabric reflects the commercial prosperity of the period, with warehouses, docks, and related structures demonstrating the scale and organization of historical port operations. The designation recognized the outstanding universal value of Liverpool's port as a testimony to the evolution of international maritime commerce during the industrial era. The site was subsequently removed from the World Heritage List due to concerns regarding urban development pressures and changes to the port's historical character.
