"Inclusive Spaces: At the intersection of design, commoning and citizen empowerment" Interface to Place: Remaking divisive lines into shared spaces Queen’s University Belfast Department of Justice – Interfaces Team Northern Ireland Housing Executive David Keir Building, 12 August 2019 The conference brings together international scholars, practitioners and decision-makers to reignite debate on how contemporary cities could foster more communal modes of living. As such we wish to discuss how to engage with history and heritage to imagine the future; how post-conflict and peace processes can be supported by inclusive approaches to planning and urban stewardship; and how we can ensure that the knowledge produced by academics, practitioners and citizens can be shared to shape the future of our cities. The conference will give us the opportunity to reflect more closely on how such an understanding of cities as shared spaces could inform the process of removing all interface barriers in Belfast by 2023. We will ask how interface areas could become shared spaces and how these might look.
