[ Cork City Development Plan 2022-2028, Section 15(2) Two-Year Progress Report ]
SDG 1: End poverty in all its forms everywhere
Targets under this goal relevant to the City Development Plan: Target 1.5
By 2030, build the resilience of the poor and those in vulnerable situations and reduce their exposure and vulnerability to climate-related extreme events and other economic, social and environmental shocks and
disasters. Target 1.b
Create sound policy frameworks at the national, regional and international levels, based on pro-poor and gender-sensitive development strategies, to support accelerated investment in poverty eradication actions.
Target 1.5 has been contextualised in the City Development Plan through objectives relating to supporting provision of homeless accommodation (Objective 3.12) and climate action. Cork City Council works in partnership with key stakeholders including Approved Housing Bodies to address homeless through various programmes. A pilot scheme for the provision of homeless accommodation is currently being considered. Climate action is a cross cutting objective across the development plan, and is addressed specifically in chapter 5, which contains objectives that seek to support the transition to a low-carbon, resilient city, and to integrate climate change measures into local policy, strategies and planning. Key actions taken by Cork City Council and supported under the City Development Plan include the adoption of the Cork City Climate Action Plan 2024-2029, the identification of a decarbonization zone (DZ) toward the west of Cork City and suburbs, and the adoption of the Cork City Council Tree Strategy in 2024. Target 1.b has been localised to objectives integrating international, national and regional policy into local land use planning and management in Cork City. Cork City Council are leading or partnering in a number of programmes and projects, including the Cork City Neighbourhood Profile (2022), a supporting document to the City Development Plan which underpinned the Plan’s 15-minute neighbourhood approach. It sets out a socio-economic profile of the network of neighbourhoods, towns and communities in the city using a series of indicators based on (2016) census data to provide profiles and comparative data for 44 individual neighbourhoods and towns in the city. The profile informs developers, planners and the wider community to make evidence-based decisions on the nature, mix and form of new development at neighbourhood level. The neighbourhood structure set out in the profile has wide applicability, such as in a current City Council community asset mapping exercise to assess climate resilience. The profile is currently being updated based on 2022 census data.
