SHAFTESBURY SQUARE

In 2013 GM Design Associates were commissioned by the Department for Social Development to prepare a development framework for the area in and around Shaftesbury Square, Belfast. This is an inner city area on the edge of the City Centre, which had largely missed out on the wider urban regeneration of the centre of Belfast. This framework is a response to and a basis for resolving the area's existing weaknesses, building on its strengths, harnessing its people’s energies, healing its gaps and blemishes and moving forward so that it once again plays a full part in a re-energised city.
