Dublin City Council BETA

What are our streets trying to tell us? Researchers at University College Cork are revealing a new approach to understanding the environmental impact of cities.

Innovative new methods for measuring and mapping air quality data have shown that one-size-fits-all plans to address pollution are not the answer – and that hyperlocal solutions right down to street level can pave the way to more sustainable and just cities.

Thanks.

Positive reframing like that might also help in other ways - such as linking with the increased spend by people on foot ("pedestrian pound").

And might help rethink "delays" - not just wait times, but also walking slower due to narrow busy footpaths, uneven walking surface, obstacles, etc.

Hi Ian, thoughts on expressing it in the opposite way?

A person has a 15min city available to them today under the *existing* circumstances.

Each time we remove delays we expand their personal 15min city:
1min - 14%
2min - 28%
3min - 44%
4min - 60%
5min - 78%
6min - approx doubled in size

Hi folks, what do you see as the key differences between Berlin Kiezblocks, Barcelona Superilla, London LTNs (or any similar others)? Mostly a local branding difference, or does the top-down/bottom-up create important differences?

Hi Gaz, what's the name of that street in Salford? Are there other, similar, ones there that you know of?

The College Green plans have been released by Dublin City Council and another Consultation opens today

Really great to finally see what this transformation will look like
