Goals of the intervention
The Strategic Framework, as per the Back to the River study for the Lagan has these principal aims (ref 3):
• To secure a spatial strategy for the river corridor and its wider catchment area
• To secure further integration of the river corridor with the city centre and neighbourhoods
• To enhance leisure, recreation and tourism opportunities, improving health and wellbeing of the city’s residents and creating employment whilst preserving and enhancing the environmental value of the river asset.
• To set the context for detailed framework plans that will guide development along the urban waterfront setting standards that will help regenerate the city.
• To maximise the regeneration impacts of projects along the corridor.
Now in the construction stage and called as Lagan Gateway it includes the following structural elements (Ref 7)
- development of a navigation lock
- construction of an iconic foot and cycle bridge
- refurbishment of the existing weir
- high quality landscaping and new path connections
The Lagan Gateway project is one of the catalyst projects identified within the wider Lagan Corridor area, which aims to create opportunities for tourism, employment, community engagement and economic growth along the river. (Ref 7)

Ref 3 :
1. the waterfront will become a fully integrated part of an expanded city centre
2. development on the east bank from Albert Bridge to Odyssey that will create a vibrant waterfront
3. A vibrant waterfront and enhanced linkage across the river through the provision of pedestrian bridges
4.greater recreational use of the river itself
