Straddling a broad sea lough and cradled by the surrounding green hills, Belfast has one of the most scenic locations in Ireland or Britain. It still boasts many superb buildings from the Victorian and Edwardian eras, along with fine parks and pleasant river walks. But it is the modern city which really surprises. There has been an extraordinary regeneration, most spectacularly at Laganside, where the river has been transformed by the world-class concert facilities of the Waterfront Hall and the impressive new buildings that cluster around it. Presenting over 150 colour images of Belfast from photographers Chris Hill and Jill Jennings, this volume depicts the city confidently facing a better future.
