I’m a Professor looking at how digital tech can be used by business, published twice @HarvardBiz. Interested here in Belfast and it’s development.

Thoroughly enjoyed the Mary Ann McCracken Walking Tour this afternoon with @cliftonbelfast - Mary Ann devoted her long life to alleviating poverty, social justice and equality.

I grew up in Portadown close to the Black Paths. While designed and built in the 1960s they were so far ahead of their time.

Still my favourite crisps even for breakfast!! They also go very well with a pint of Guinness 😊

On beautiful towns - shout out to the lovely Monmouth just about on Welsh side of the Wales-England border. We cross-crossed that border constantly during our summer break with Welsh language signs letting us know we were in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

What to say about Abergavenny in Wales. One of the most beautiful towns I have ever visited. Pedestrianised and so very Mediterranean in feel 😊 Superb town planning with car free living.

Perfect situation for a church - Maghery Chapel on Armagh/Tyrone border on the southern shores of Lough Neagh. Overlooking the @NationalTrustNI owned Coney Island.

I’m not on commission with the owner Charlie or anything but his Base coffee is the best in Newcastle and this side of Milano!
My brother-in-law Federico will beg to differ 😃

Some interesting evening features around the Slieve Donard Hotel in Newcastle

It’s not the Parisian Left Bank but there is a certain charm to taking your espresso sur la Bann en Portadown!

Met with PhD student @mayorofderry - comparative case studies of Belfast and Bristol smart city polices and potential of #bigdata and social #marketing to create socio-economic inclusivity. Lots of engagement with North Belfast as key area of interest.

My final photos of @UlsterUni Jordanstown campus taken recently. So many good memories as this place drifts into the history books 😢

@RightsInTheCity Classic example is the horrible overpass that separates Genoa from the sea - it’s a monster! Bit like the old green overpass in Boston before the ‘Big Dig’ put it underground.

@drtomstours They built beautiful warehouses in the Victorian era - even utility buildings were classy.
