Year 11 GCSE Geography Class Visit Titanic Quarter

The Year 11 GCSE Geography class recently completed some urban Fieldwork in Belfast. The fieldwork course was run by the Field Studies Centre in Belfastโ€™s Titanic Quarter. Starting the morning in the classroom they spent 45 minutes looking at the development of Belfast in the 1800โ€™s into a leading industrial city through to its decline in the 1970โ€™s and 80โ€™s.

They then looked at a number of hypotheses regarding the regeneration of the shipyard area into the โ€˜Titanic Quarterโ€™.ย Elements such as land use, sustainability, environmental quality and the importance of the Titanic Centre were all looked at. The students then got an opportunity to head out and complete some data collection before heading back into the classroom to analyse and evaluate their results

All the students stated that they had a great day and were proud of how the city of Belfast had regenerated this brownfield site into the modern, attractive area they see today.
