The yellow initiatives will try to apply some of the thinking from the case studies – in general, or specifically – in real and polemic proposals for Belfast. Each initiative is under development in collaboration or discussion with an appropriate local partner in order to address specific issues identified earlier in the analysis. This is a mechanism not only to disseminate the ideas of the project as widely as possible among built environment actors, networks, and institutions, but also to access additional knowledge, expertise, and production resources. The development of the initiatives is guided by three principles:

incompleteness:
The initiatives are an attempt to seed an idea: some will take root, others will not. The project team will develop and document each, regardless of their level of completion, for inclusion in the project outputs.

possibility:
Each initiative will draw on the case studies in general or in particular, but the intention is to extend the envelope of possibility in Belfast, rather than to impose a set of ideal models.

resemblance:
To facilitate the assembly of the project outputs, the initiatives will establish consistency through a range of recognisable common features, such as the colour yellow, certain terms such as ‘civil enterprise’, and a common process of documentation.
