The ‘ We Are Cork ’ Brand and the ‘ Grow in Cork ’ initiative are placemaking initiatives supported by both Cork City Council and Cork County Council along with a broad range of public and private sector stakeholders. These initiatives present the attractiveness of Cork City and County as a place in which to live and invest. Importantly it enhances a sense of place and welcome to all people living in Cork City.
CITY HALL, CORK
A healthy city Cork is a designated World Health Organisation Healthy City since January 2012. With this designation is a requirement of Cork City Council to commit to health and a process and structure to achieve it. As a WHO Healthy City, we are committed to continually create and improve our physical and social environs and expand the community resources that enable people to mutually support each other in performing all the functions of life and developing to their maximum potential. Healthy Cities is based on a recognition that population health is not merely a product of health sector activities but largely determined by policies and actions beyond the health sector. Initiatives include investing in health through empowering people, tackling health challenges, encouraging workplaces to adopt mental health strategies, strengthening people centred systems, emergency preparedness, creating resilient communities and supportive environments.
