  • A Vision of South Dublin's Future Final.Indd
    A VISION FOR SOUTH DUBLIN’S FUTURE 2 Chief Executive’s Invitation The review of the County Development Plan and the preparation of a new Plan is one of the most important functions of South Dublin County Council. The South Dublin County Council Development Plan 2016-2022 will set out a vision for South Dublin’s future to 2022 and beyond. The review has come at a time of change. Following a period of economic contraction the outlook for the period of the next Plan is more positive. This time of transition and renewed growth presents new challenges in the way we plan for our future and offers opportunities to examine innovative ways and means of achieving a brighter future for the citizens of South Dublin County. The publication of this booklet “A Vision for South Dublin’s Future” is the fi rst step in the plan making process. The booklet presents an overview of the main development issues currently impacting on South Dublin County and identifi es the kind of planning matters that the next County Development Plan could address. We have attempted to highlight the issues that we think are important but this list is by no means exhaustive. Now we want to hear from you. Have we overlooked issues, which are of importance to you? If so we need to know what these are. Public input at the start of the plan making process is important so that the fi nal Plan can refl ect and respond to public concerns and aspirations.

  • Dublin Ireland: a City Addressing Challenging Water Supply, Management, and Governance Issues
    Copyright © 2014 by the author(s). Published here under license by the Resilience Alliance. Kelly-Quinn, M., S. Blacklocke, M. Bruen, R. Earle, E. O'Neill, J. O'Sullivan, and P. Purcell. 2014. Dublin Ireland: a city addressing challenging water supply, management, and governance issues. Ecology and Society 19(4): 10. http://dx.doi.org/10.5751/ ES-06921-190410 Research, part of a Special Feature on Urban Water Governance Dublin Ireland: a city addressing challenging water supply, management, and governance issues Mary Kelly-Quinn 1, Sean Blacklocke 2, Michael Bruen 2, Ray Earle 3, Eoin O'Neill 4, John O'Sullivan 2 and Patrick Purcell 2 ABSTRACT. The population of Dublin City and its suburbs currently stands at 1.3 million and is projected to reach 2.1 million by 2022. There is pressure on its water supply system (inadequate catchment sources, ageing infrastructure including treatment facilities, and distribution network) with little or no spare capacity despite Ireland’s relatively high rainfall that is well distributed throughout the year; albeit the greatest rainfall occurs in the west and southwest and at some remove from Dublin. The current governance approach to addressing the projected water supply deficit relies heavily on a combination of identifying new supply sources to secure the long-term water supply needs of the city together with an intense drive toward achieving “demand-side” reduced usage and conservation targets in accordance with EU benchmarks for various individual and sectoral users. This potentially emerging crisis of water scarcity in Dublin, with drivers including population growth, greater industrial and institutional demands, migration, and climate change, has generated one of the most significant public water works projects proposed in Irish history, which is to abstract raw water from the Shannon River Basin in the midland region and, following treatment, pump it to a storage reservoir in a cut-away bog before piping to the Greater Dublin Area.

  • DRAFT Wicklow County Development Plan 2016-2022
    DRAFT Wicklow County Development Plan 2016-2022 CHAPTER 2 - VISION AND CORE STRATEGY 2.1 Introduction The purpose of this chapter is to set out the vision for the future of the County and to provide a ‘Core Strategy’ for its spatial organisation over the plan period. 2.2 Strategic Policy Context The Wicklow County Development Plan 2016-2022 (CDP) is consistent with higher order strategic policy documents including the ‘National Spatial Strategy 2002-2020’, the ‘Regional Planning Guidelines for the Greater Dublin Area 2010-2022’ and the National Transport Authority’s ‘Draft Transportation Strategy for the Greater Dublin Area 2011-2030’. While strictly speaking not a ‘higher order strategy’ document, in the crafting of the ‘Core Strategy’ for Wicklow, particular regard has also been taken of the Ministerial guidance ‘Rural Planning Guidelines for Planning Authorities’ (DoEHLG 2005), having regard to the mainly rural nature of the County. The strategic policies included in these documents are key to informing the ‘Core Strategy’ of the development plan. Other national plans, policies or strategies that influence the objectives of the development plan are considered within the main chapters of the development plan where they relate to a particular topic or land use. In addition, there are a number of environmental considerations that have a significant bearing on the overall development objectives of the plan. Under the Habitats and Birds Directive and the Strategic Environmental Assessment Directive, both an Appropriate Assessment and a Strategic Environmental Assessment were carried out for the entire development plan including the written statement, maps, objectives and appendices. The plan had regard to both assessments with resultant changes being made to the Plan throughout the plan process.

  • Discursive Strategies for Urban Sound Design and Acoustic Planning
    Discursive strategies for urban sound design and acoustic planning Sven Anderson1 The Graduate School of Creative Arts and Media (GradCAM) Technological University Dublin (TUD) Grangegorman Dublin 7 Ireland ABSTRACT The fields of urban sound design and acoustic planning have emerged at the intersection of disciplines that range from urban design to environmental acoustics, and from urban sociology to sound art. As such, these fields incorporate methodologies extracted from a diverse assemblage of design projects, legislative imperatives, and interdisciplinary research programmes. Alongside practice-led design and planning initiatives that manifest as transformations to the public realm, these methodologies are formed through discursive means – through discourse that is embedded within different stages of education and planning processes. This paper will review a series of projects that have evolved in the city of Dublin since 2013. These projects range in scale, originating from public art frameworks and extending as interfaces with systems of design education, urban planning, and community engagement. These projects combine discreet outputs with strategies that expand through discursive elements, which encompass conversations, meetings, workshops, and symposia and involve students, design professionals, local authorities, and community groups. This paper explores the strategies that inform this body of work and demonstrates how these strategies contribute to the articulation of communities that are engaged with issues concerning the
