Cork City Centre Strategy 2014 and Cork City Centre Revitalisation Action Plan 2021-2025 10.17 Significant progress has been made in recent years in terms of the overall approach to managing the City Centre. The Cork City Centre Strategy was prepared in 2014, to set out objectives for its renewal and regeneration. A partnership was established, comprising representatives from key City Centre stakeholders including the City Council, business, security, transport groups
with residents represented by the elected members. This was underpinned by operational structures and resources of Cork City Council. 10.18 Cork City Council has commissioned a new five- year action plan (Cork City Centre Revitalisation Action Plan 2021-2025) to address the land use and economics of Cork City Centre, and ensure it is developed as a vibrant and viable core to Metropolitan Cork. This will be used to guide the ongoing efforts of building the City Centre’s attractiveness as a place to live, work and visit. This is set within the context of addressing the challenges of COVID-19, along with continuing to improve the fabric of the City Centre by addressing dereliction, vacancy and underutilisation of space. The Strategy will be available in Quarter 2, 2021.
