A new £7 million shared community space has opened in west Belfast, replacing 30 meters of peace wall on the former Finlay's factory site. The Black Mountain Shared Space facility aims to foster cross-community engagement and provide a base for joint programming.

Welcome step. Peace barriers have become barriers to peace. The more can be removed the better, with communities. Portadown peace wall removed after almost 27 years buff.ly/40qLnKa

We have invested over £9m in the Peace Barriers Programme delivering a range of confidence and relationship building interventions to help residents reach a position where they feel it is safe and appropriate to proceed with the removal of peace barriers in their area.

It would have been interesting to overlay the @BIP_Interfaces Map of #Belfast #peacelines on these maps, to understand their impact on people's perceptions of threat. @Domsball @bsturgeon82. #Interfaces @FundforIreland @Justice_NI

why the disconnect locally, where were the voices of the working class communities who remain at the coal face, who remain left to deal with endemic levels of poverty, segregation and no strategic investment policy.

European PeaceIV Funding is making a real difference in #Belfast at the moment at interface areas. Let’s hope UK funding will be as generous post-Brexit. #Agreement25 #BelfastPEACEIV #GFA25

25 years of building peace. 54 years of so-called #peacewalls cementing sectarian division.
Freshly painted gates at Lanark Way, Belfast: 25 years of building peace. Really?

This is a great tool to understand urban change in Northern Ireland. This was particularly useful to understand the change in urban grain by imposition of #peacewalls from 1969 onwards.
This #MapMonday we wanted to highlight PRONI Historical Maps Viewer – An online tool that shows Ordnance Survey maps of Northern Ireland through time. This video shows how Skegoneill has dramatically changed from when it was first surveyed in the 1830s to the present day!
