Case Study 1: Connswater Community Greenway
A 9km linear park through east Belfast that integrates open and green spaces with flood alleviation infrastructure, demonstrating how major development can provide recreational amenities and address environmental infrastructure needs through public engagement.
A 9km linear park through east Belfast following the course of the Connswater, Knock and Loop Rivers, connecting open and green spaces. The multipurpose greenway not only provides an attractive, safe and accessible parkland for leisure, recreation, community events and activities but also includes an £11 million flood alleviation scheme that has helped reduced flooding to 1700 properties. Eastside partnership along with BCC delivered the scheme that underwent an extensive public consultation and engagement process.
