Belfast’s Pedestrian Future | Dublin News

Belfast City Hall turned into a cultural epicenter last week as one million people flooded in for the historic Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann festival — the first time this massive Irish music celebration landed in Belfast. The event sparked big conversations about transforming city centers into pedestrian-friendly zones, with the Alliance Party championing the idea that lively, car-free streets boost community spirit and local business. But they’re stressing that any changes must prioritize accessibility — from disabled parking to seamless public transport — to ensure everyone can enjoy the benefits. Now, officials are calling for a full review of what worked during the Fleadh and how other cities are doing it, aiming to build a long-term vision for a vibrant, inclusive Belfast city center.
