[ Leading Cork to Take Its Place as a World Class City ]
“Economic and social recovery against the backdrop of Covid-19 presents unprecedented challenges for communities and businesses in Cork. We need a shift in perspectives, a “re-imagining” of Cork and high levels of partnership and collaboration if we are to mitigate the impact of the pandemic”. “The programme published today, and achieved with the support of city councillors, is the first step towards a more comprehensive re-drawing of the city as we know it with intensified focus on more sustainable transport and a reduction in through–traffic”.
“An immediate sense of the re-imagined city can be seen in the expanded city centre
pedestrianisation achieved by Cork City Council and local businesses. The changes mean that up to 1,000 residents and visitors to the city can eat and drink alfresco - thereby supporting social distancing and local business”.
Lord Mayor, Cllr Joe Kavanagh
