Liverpool has been stripped of its World Heritage status.
It comes after a Unesco committee recommended the city be removed from the list due to developments on the city's waterfront which had resulted in "irreversible loss of attributes".
In a meeting on Sunday, the committee said Everton's new stadium, officially due to start construction on 26 July, could have a "major adverse impact".
The decision was made following a vote by the committee at a meeting in China.
Liverpool was awarded the much-coveted title in 2004 in recognition of its historical and architectural impact.
It recognised the city's history as a major trading centre during the British Empire and its architectural landmarks.
Liverpool is the third site to lose its World Heritage status since the list began in 1978 - the other two being Oman's Arabian Oryx Sanctuary in 2007 and the Dresden Elbe Valley in Germany in 2009.
