Liverpool has successfully rebranded itself from a deindustrialized city to a cultural destination through regeneration and reimaging efforts. It used its 2008 designation as the European Capital of Culture to raise its profile and invested in cultural facilities like art galleries and museums. This regeneration was paired with reimaging Liverpool's industrial heritage in transport and textiles to attract visitors, focusing on promoting the city's heritage, culture, arts, retail, and technology. Videos were also used to portray Liverpool's rebranding of its historic docks from a major trans-Atlantic port into a redeveloped waterfront area.
