City Role and Compact Development Strategy
The strategy reinforces Belfast as the regional capital and supports creating a compact city by directing new development to accessible locations and brownfield sites within Belfast City to retain population and attract investment.
The strategy reinforces the city's role as the regional capital, to maintain its significant contribution to the wider NI economy. It supports the plan's strategic policies to create a compact city where new development is directed to accessible locations and brownfield sites within Belfast City. Focussing development within the city to maintain and enhance employment and housing opportunities will retain the existing population and attract others to invest and live here. This will make a significant contribution to the overall sustainability aims of the plan.
