Time to Take Back the City - Join the Conversation.
We have a jam packed calendar of events between now and December where you can get involved in our campaign to build an inclusive and sustainable city.
What will the city of the future look like? At the minute our divided and unequal society is not working and the people of Belfast are being left behind.
We believe we can build a better Belfast - a city that’s not divided by walls, where everyone has a home and the things that really matter are the top priority - family, community, health, happiness - we can have all of that in a way that is sustainable and inclusive.
Let’s talk about the Belfast of the future. Everyone is welcome.
It’s time to #TakeBackTheCity.
