Businesses Give Their Views On The Future Development Of BElfast
Businesses have the chance to give their views on the future development of Belfast as part of a public consultation exercise on the City Masterplan taking place during the autumn.
Belfast City Masterplan 2013-2020 will set out the council’s vision for the city in terms of creating a 'competitive, connected and inclusive Belfast'.
The document focuses on seven themes - each with aims for the future development of Belfast among these looking at the centre of the city; creating a neighbourhood city; a learning city; a sustainable city and a digital city.
The vision for the centre of the city will focus on the provision of a retail, business, tourism and culture centre at the heart of Belfast. A project that is currently underway highlighting this - is the DSD led £400 million investment in the Royal Exchange project.
The creation of a 'learning city' in the Masterplan will focus on harnessing the potential of further and higher education resources to support regeneration and drive innovation. A project currently underway emphasising this - is the £250 million investment by the University of Ulster in a new campus in York Street.
While the creation of a digital city is shaping up through the city’s Super-Connected Cities initiative to enhance the city's competitiveness and sustainability through the development of a high quality digital and physical infrastructure for Belfast.
