• Cork City centre’s character is a key driver of the city experience; there are opportunities to further grow this identity to increase the city centre’s attractiveness as a place to live in and to visit
1. Character development and community
• Much of Cork’s vibrancy comes from its people, and communities in the vicinity of the city centre are typically multi- generational • There are opportunities to encourage increased levels of footfall into the city centre from resident in its vicinity, and to make the city centre itself more attractive to live in
2. Age-friendly and accessible
