Henning Larsen Architects reveals £400 million Belfast waterfront masterplan

Scandinavian practice Henning Larsen Architects has unveiled plans to transform the east bank of the River Lagan in Belfast, Northern Ireland, using the redevelopment of Copenhagen harbour as a model.
The 6.5-hectare Belfast Waterside masterplan aims to make use of the outdoor spaces along the river in the winter months ? looking towards the redevelopment of Copenhagen's harbour as a reference point.
In recent years, new housing, infrastructure and offices have transformed the Nordic city's waterfront, creating pedestrian and cycle-friendly zones that are used year round.
Henning Larsen Architects' plans will see the creation of 750 new homes, as well as a hotel, leisure and office spaces along the bank of the River Lagan, which runs through the city on its route from the Slieve Croob mountain in County Down to Belfast Lough.
There are also plans for a new pedestrian and cycle bridge to link the banks of the river, as well as additional leisure and shopping facilities.
