PROJECT PROGRAMME

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE CONSULTATION

Phase 1, A Bolder Vision for 
Belfast, sets out how green, 
walkable, cyclable network of 
streets and places will improve 
health for all, revitalise the 
city’s economy and restore 
a sense of collective pride 
in the centre of the city by 
the communities. This stage 
resulted in the Visioning 
Principles and Themes for 
Change.

Phase 2 will provide a tangible vision that 
creates a green, people focused, connected city 
centre for current and future users in line with 
the Visioning Principles set out in Phase 1. This 
phase follows a collaborative process between 
the three public agencies (DfI, DfC and BCC) and 
multiple stakeholder engagement via focus groups, 
interviews and numerous workshops. This helps 
collating a number of potential interventions that 
will shape the future city centre and will influence 
the way the capital schemes are delivered. 

This stage is happening now and the current public 
consultation will form part of this phase.

Phase 3 Following the consultation 
period, we will collate and analyse the 
stakeholder feedback. A consultation 
report will be produced which will 
outline all engagement undertaken 
with stakeholders and the local 
community before and during the 
public consultation. We will review 
the outcomes of engagement and 
consultation and where appropriate, 
accommodate requested changes or 
alterations to the preferred Strategy.

A Bolder Vision for Belfast 
The outcome of Phases 1-3 
will be the production of 
the Bolder Vision Strategy 
which will include the range 
of interventions for the 
city. The interventions are 
organised in short term and 
long term interventions that 
ensure a step change for the 
city centre of Belfast.
