Strategies & ideas for cultural life in Dublin, 2011-17 - what do you think?

DCC Planning Secretariat

Dublin is renowned as a cultural city. In all its forms, culture enhances quality of life for everyone living, working, visiting and studying in the capital.

Chapter 7 of the Draft Development Plan is called “Fostering the City’s Character and Culture.” It outlines many proposed actions and objectives regarding cultural life in the city over the next six years.

These include

- celebrating diversity
- seeking the preservation of historic buildings
- supporting the selection of a chosen day to be designated 'Dublin Day'
- ensuring that cultural facilities are provided as part of larger developments in the City Centre

You can read a full summary of the chapter or download the original here.

What do you think of the ideas suggested? What initiatives would you like to see to encourage artists to live, produce and display in the city? Would you support the establishment of an annual ‘Dublin Day’?

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.
