Northern Ireland Social Development Minister
Margaret Ritchie MLA, has welcomed a major planning prize
for the Victoria Square Regeneration Scheme.
The Department for Social Development (DSD) and BDP were
awarded the Silver Jubilee Cup - the UK’s top planning prize
- at the 2009 Royal Town Planning Institute (RPTI)
awards. In a ceremony celebrating the best planning projects
across the UK and Ireland, DSD and BDP were recognised for
their work on the Victoria Square project.
Margaret Ritchie said - “This award recognises the important
regeneration work my Department is carrying out in Belfast
City Centre and, indeed, throughout all of Northern Ireland.
I welcome that Northern Ireland’s excellence in regeneration
and planning has been recognised by RTPI.
“I want to set out a powerful vision for urban regeneration
and economic development across Northern Ireland. Developments
such as Victoria Square are helping to do this and instilling
a new confidence in our urban centres.”
