[email protected] tel: 028 90868773 PREFACE The Strategic Regeneration Framework (SRF) for the Greater Shankill area of Belfast, Northern Ireland was commissioned by the Greater Shankill Partnership in November 2007. This was in direct response to the Department for Social Development (DSD) Renewing Communities Programme, which commits to the development of SRFs for each of the city’s five partnership areas. This SRF was prepared by a consultant team led by The Paul Hogarth Company, who provides Urban Regeneration, Urban Design and Landscape Architecture services. They were joined by Julie Harrison and Mike Morrissey providing specialist regeneration consultancy in social policy and economics. The Greater Shankill Partnership would like to thank all members of the project steering group (see Appendix A), whose input was central to the development of the Framework.
