Belfast: Toward a City Without Walls by Vicky Cosstick

In Belfast: Toward a City Without Walls Vicky Cosstick tells the story of Belfast s 100 sectarian walls and interfaces, now the last in Europe, which remain fifteen years after the Good Friday Agreement of 1998, and she asks for how much longer these physical signs and symbols of sectarianism and the Troubles will disfigure the cityscape.
Her book examines how progress could be made through dialogue, regeneration, through art and architecture, with the help of the communities, the former paramilitaries, the politicians, the churches, and through business and tourism.. Wearing her academic hat she refers to complexity theory which, she says, points to 'small, gradual changes resulting in big effects'.--Gerry Moriarty The Irish Times
