Professor William J V Neill of Geography and Environment, together with Dr Michael Murray (Institute of Spatial and Environmental Planning, Queen's University Belfast) and Dr Berna Grist (School of Geography, Planning and Environmental Policy, University College Dublin) recently launched their edited book "Relaunching Titanic: Memory and Marketing in the New Belfast" (Routledge), at the European Academy of the Urban Environment (EA.UE) in Berlin. The book explores how Titanic heritage has been mobilised in the 'post conflict' context of Belfast, the city that built the world's most famous ship.
The work is part of an ongoing collaboration under the auspices of the Irish Scottish Forum for Spatial Planning.
