  • From Alternative to Mainstream
    CHAPTER 1 From Alternative to Mainstream Alternatives Ascending Foreword The specter of market volatility brought on by large-scale events, such as global pandemic- related lockdowns in early 2020, has had a strong influence on investor approaches to their portfolios. Investors are responding by building resilience into their portfolios to navigate a future with the potential for enormous surprises. Alternative asset managers face a complex mix of opportunities and challenges presented by strong investor appetite for diversification, as well as broader industry pressures. BNY Mellon, in conjunction with Mergermarket, surveyed 100 institutional investors and 100 alternative asset managers on their perceptions of current trends in the space and on whether the two sides are moving in the same direction. The findings show changing investor and asset manager attitudes and behavior, in some cases contrasting with our 2017 research report, The Race for Assets.1 In addition to shifting investor needs, highlighted in Chapter 1 of this study, alternative asset managers face structural changes within their organizations. A majority of alternative asset manager respondents cite forces of increased competition and changing economics as top factors driving structural change. They see increased product innovation as another significant structural game-changer. Like their peers in the broader asset management industry,2 alternative asset managers are deploying digital and data analysis technologies to increase efficiency, overcome regulatory hurdles, promote product innovation and improve reporting. 1 https://www.bnymellon.com/us/en/insights/content-series/the-race-for-assets.html 2 https://www.bnymellon.com/us/en/insights/asset-management-transformation-is-already-here/survey-research-series-overview.html 2 The need for robust data management and analytics is also bringing new complexities to the fore.

The Society of Chartered Surveyors Ireland, as the national association representing members across the surveying disciplines, has in recent years developed rapidly and reorganised into a vibrant professional body, with over 5,500 members, playing an active role in national development. Ireland has a long and notable history of surveying and measurement from the carefully aligned network of hill-top monuments constructed over 5,000 years ago, to the completion of the world’s first large-scale national mapping in the mid nineteenth century and, in the last decade, the National Seabed Survey that ranks amongst the largest marine mapping programmes undertaken anywhere in the world. Meanwhile, Ireland has one of the most open economies in the world and most of the major international IT companies have established bases in Ireland. At the same time, young Irish graduates can be found bringing their skills and enthusiasm to all corners of the world and, in many cases, returning home enriched professionally and culturally by their time abroad.

  • THE CASE for HEAVY RAIL Dublin Is in the Process of Finally Deciding the Structure of Its Public Transport System, in Particular
    DECIDING ON DUBLIN'S INTEGRATED TRANSPORT POLICY THE CASE FOR HEAVY RAIL MARTIN ROGERS DUBLIN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY 1. B A C K G R O U N D Dublin is in the process of finally deciding the structure of its public transport system, in particular the form of rail-based transport to be employed in the capital. This process has been ongoing since the early nineties when the Dublin Transport Initiative (DTI) was established to put together a transportation plan for the Greater Dublin Area to the year 2011, publishing its final report in 1995 (DTI, 1995). The problem of resolving the public transport needs for the capital city has its basis in the recommendations of this report. This paper examines the data used to formulate the initial Core Strategy of projects contained within the DTI Final Report which dealt with all surface transport (road, rail, bus, cycling and walking), and examined transport in an integrated sense, inter-relating it with policies such as economic development, employment and the environment. This paper discusses whether the judgements made by the decision-makere within DTI Phase 2 regarding the most appropriate transport strategy for the region were, in retrospect, the correct ones. In particular, this report, in the opinion of the author, did not pick the correct suburban rail option for Dublin as part of its chosen core strategy. It also asks whether any suitable corrective action has been taken in the intervening years as part of the DTI review process to adjust the strategy, where appropriate, and whether the proposed strategy update corrects, to any extent, the original errors committed.

Unpublished © Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat / Brian Duffy The Need for Vision: Tall Buildings in Dublin Brian Duffy Associate, Traynor O’Toole Architects – 49 Upper Mount Street, Dublin 2, Ireland Abstract The Celtic Tiger economy in Ireland has dramatically changed the substance of life in Ireland within a very short space of time. Whilst the infrastructure has struggled to keep up, the urban realm has begun the process of rapidly transforming Dublin from a low rise city of urban sprawl, to a densely woven contemporary modern environment. The appetite to build tall is tempered by an apprehensive planning policy, that reflects the cautious mood of the general public. Such apprehension restricts the possibility of creating an of-its-time City that meets it demands sustainably, whilst fulfilling its high aspirations. The paper examines planning policies and how Dublin architects have pursued tall buildings, most typically in the city centre. This is then contrasted with an alternative approach on the edge of the city, where one major landowner and [email protected] design team have proposed an entire masterplanning vision, premised on the inclusion of tall buildings. This untypical approach yields notable success and, in doing so, highlights the need for a more proactive and interactive approach to Biography Briantall building Duffy qualifiedstrategic planningfrom Queens on behalf University of architects, Belfast, developers Northern Ireland, and planners before alike.

As an organisation we look after some of the island’s most valuable outdoor recreation resources and as an all island body have a clear challenge to demonstrate that working together we can deliver more for people across the island than working separately. The past five years have been challenging, a change in focus, moving from our customers being primarily boat owners to a much broader customer base and new opportunities for growing use of the waterways. Thanks to the skills and experience of our operational teams, despite greatly reduced funding, we have been able to respond to infrastructure failures, commenced lock gate manufacture and replacement, and maintained the hundreds of recreational and amenity sites across the waterways.
