Smart City-zens launches in Sandy Row, giving local residents the opportunity to take part in community-led research, citizen science, and conversations about the future of their area.

BelfastSouth has issued a formal response to the NIHE Spring 2026 Hope Street Newsletter, raising serious concerns that key objections from the Sandy Row community have not been meaningfully addressed. The response calls for greater transparency, a revised housing mix, and stronger provision of family-sized social housing on the Hope Street site.
