Figure 2.11: A Liveable Walkable Neighbourhood.
2.29 Understanding the nature and context of an existing neighbourhood, town or community is the starting point for good planning and design. The Cork City Neighbourhood Profile (2021) sets out a socio- economic profile of the network of neighbourhoods, towns and communities in the city. Based on census data, it uses a series of indicators to provide individual profiles. It also provides comparative data to gain a better understanding of similarities and
differences between neighbourhoods. The profile has been designed as an evidence base to allow developers, planners and the wider community to make informed decisions about the nature, mix and form of new development at neighbourhood level. The profile will be updated following the completion of the next census, providing further evidence for monitoring and review at neighbourhood level.
