Our overall vision is of a Belfast in which today's interface communities:
- Are free of tension, intimidation and violence both within and between communities;
- Have come to terms with legacies of the past;
- Are socially and economically vibrant, within an attractive physical environment;
- Enjoy freedom of movement in accessing facilities and services;
- Have respect for cultural difference and diversity.
