We published our city’s first community plan in November 2017, the Belfast Agenda. Created by a partnership of key city partners, residents and community organisations, the Belfast Agenda sets out our joint vision and long-term ambitions for Belfast’s future, as well as outlining our priorities for action over the next four years.
We’re required under legislation to regularly review our community plan. Our first formal review of the Belfast Agenda has found us in challenging circumstances emerging from the pandemic and responding to a growing cost-of-living crisis. It takes account of significant political, economic and social changes locally, nationally and internationally.
