Project description
The Arterial Routes Initiative, led by Belfast City Council, aims to develop integrated regeneration plans for designated key roads into the city of Belfast. Very little design work has been completed to date and the PROJECT award will enable an artist to join a collaborative visioning process from an early stage, between November 2004 and October 2005.

Project partners within the city council span all urban development services and include regeneration, arts and culture, economic development, community development, parks and tourism, and are brought together in an All-Party working group and Officer Steering Group ëAttractiveness of the City'. External, advisory partners include the Arts Council of Northern Ireland, ëplace' the Built Environment Centre for Northern Ireland and strategically placed community organisations at the heart of proposed and identified priority areas within the project and with the capacity to involve local people.
