    What is the Urban Villages Initiative?

    The Urban Villages Initiative is overseen by the Executive Office, (TEO), which is part of the Northern Ireland Executive.

    The initiative is designed to improve good relations outcomes and develop thriving places where there has been a history of deprivation and community tension.


    There are three inter-connected aims:

    1. To foster positive Community Identities.
    2. To build Community Capacity; and
    3. To improve the Physical Environment.
