Construction boom in Belfast

Northern Ireland is experiencing a phase of enormous optimism and progress, Arnold Bartetzky reports. He adds that there is a boom in construction in Belfast, where among other things a huge concert and conference centre, an ice hockey stadium, new company headquarters and apartment buildings are in planning for the docklands area on the River Lagan. "You can hardly claim this flourishing city will set new standards as far as architectural quality is concerned. The buildings that have been built so far are the usual potpourri of steel and glass blocks - sprinkled with natural stone facades, gables and oriels, round corners and domes with shopping mall-like courts and arcades... But what is unique is the belief in progress with which the city planning and the investors are being marketed. It's the kind of euphoria that seems more in keeping with the times of the launch of the Titanic than our anti-utopian days. ... Yet despite all the change, the old Belfast remains intact - a city of pig-headedness and hatred. Only in the centre and in certain privileged districts has the new prosperity been able to exert a therapeutic, civilising effect."
