Abstract: Adopting a case study approach, this paper explores the psychological dimensions of two shared spaces within the ethno-nationally divided city of Belfast. The paper highlights recurrent perceptions ascribed to the case studies and explores the correlation between the psychological and physical dimensions of the shared spaces. The findings draw on a series of semi-structured interviews with a wide range of stakeholders of the shared spaces. The paper concludes that the psychological and physical dimensions of shared space are very much intertwined: the built environment wields great power in reinforcing the perceptions required to establish and promote shared space in Belfast.
