Modern Aerial Imagery of Belfast

The GeoInformation Group (United Kingdom), publishers of Cities Revealed aerial photography, has captured aerial imagery of Belfast at 12.5cm resolution. This high-resolution aerial imagery dataset was captured on 16th September 2006 and is the most current aerial imagery available of Belfast, at this resolution.

Belfast City Council, Northdown Council and Carrick Fergus Council amongst other clients commissioned The GeoInformation Group to capture the dataset, which covers approximately 500 square kilometres of the Northern Ireland capital and surrounding area. Belfast is currently undergoing a major regeneration programme particularly the high profile Titanic Quarter, a 185 acre site that represents one of the largest waterfront developments in Europe; Laganside, the city’s waterfront and old docks area; and North Foreshore a 340 acre area of reclaimed land to the north of the city centre. These areas are included in the Cities Revealed aerial survey of Belfast and it is anticipated that the aerial imagery will be used extensively in the regeneration programme.
