Join us on Tuesday, 6th June for a live dialogue with urbanists from the U.S. and Denmark as they reflect on findings from a learning journey through Belfast's growing footprint of shared spaces. The interactive session will explore the role of social infrastructure in connecting people and places to shape thriving communities. The effort is part of an ongoing global research project led by Gehl, Reimagining the Civic Commons, and LISC, with support from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
