Greening Belfast: Imagine, Design, Grow

Join the Graduate School Design Team at Queen’s University Belfast and Dr Neil Galway (Programme Director and Senior Lecturer, School of Natural and Built Environment) for a fun, hands-on session all about reimagining a greener Belfast.

Together, we’ll explore exciting urban greening work already happening across the city, share inspiring case studies, and spark fresh thinking about what Belfast could become. Through a lively mini design sprint and hackathon-style workshop, you’ll work with others to generate bold, creative ideas to help make our city greener, healthier, and more connected.

Open to all, this session invites everyone to take part, share their perspective, and be part of the conversation, whether you’re a designer, student, community member, policymaker, or simply someone who cares about Belfast’s future.

We’ll wrap up with lunch and networking, giving you time to continue conversations, make connections, and grow new ideas together.
