What makes a good Dublin neighbourhood?

    One of the priorities of the new Draft Dublin City Development Plan is to create ‘sustainable’ neighbourhoods in Dublin. By sustainable the Council means neighbourhoods that have all the necessary facilities and services people need within walking distance, and which support life-long living. If a neighbourhood has accommodation options and facilities that cater to children, singles, couples, families and older residents, people can potentially live there through different phases of their life.

    Is your neighbourhood sustainable? How could it be made more so? What other issues do you think are important for your neighbourhood? What else would you like to see covered in the development plan on this issue?

    Chapter 12 of the Draft Plan is called “Creating Good Neighbourhoods and Successful Communities.” You can read a short summary of the chapter, or download the original, here.

    _________________________________________________
    Dublin City Council's 'Draft Development Plan, 2011-2017' is currently open for public consultation. The plan explains City Council strategy on everything from allotments and accommodation for artists to new economic corridors, new neighbourhoods, green spaces and low rise buildings.

    We’re encouraging Dubliners to look at the Draft Plan, discuss any issues on these boards and make a comment directly to Dublin City Council via the online submission form.

    You can find out more at www.dublincitydevelopmentplan.ie where there are videos, text summaries and an interactive map of Dublin in 2017. All feedback will be reviewed before the plan is adopted by the City Council at the end of the year.
