- The 268-page book (11 chapters, 67 illustrations) advances a set of interdisciplinary complex themes and a pioneering novel vision into the ‘Contact Theory’ and spatial divisions in NI cities based on extensive first-hand research for seven years (supported by QUB internal funding for three consecutive years). The book used around 90 archival records and historical plans from the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland (PRONI), surveys and 30 fieldwork visits over five years. In addition, 45 semi-structured interviews were held in Belfast and Londonderry, NI (approximately 100 hours of recording) with selected members of both communities.

- Additional information
- As the first multifaceted analysis of socio-spatial spheres of engagement transcending space, time, and memory, this book presents interdisciplinary analysis and novel approaches to uncover the notion of shareness as central to understanding architecture and the urbanism of Northern Irish cities where minimal scholarship has been written. Impact: Reviews describe it as significant in ‘redefining theory and practice in the urban studies in post-conflict cities’ (Gaffikin, TDSR, 2020), two guest speaker invitations (2019): Institute of Historic Building Conservation North West regional annual conference (200 participants), and the Gwangju Design Centre and Biennial, Urban Design Forum, Korea (300 participants).
