Abstract

Ken Sterrett, Northern Irish planner and urban designer, is a strong and constructive voice of dissent in Belfast, a city whose urban and social fabric is scarred by conflict. Sterrett developed his practice in a city marked by ethnic and social segregation, managed suburbanisation and a ‘silo culture’ of government departments, which led to a very conservative approach to planning throughout the past few decades.
