Chapter 6 of the City Development Plan relates to green and blue infrastructure, open space and biodiversity and sets out a suite of 27 development objectives. A strong green and blue infrastructure network is essential to the quality of life of Cork City’s residents and contributes towards the creation of places where people want to live and work. It is an objective of the City Development Plan to achieve a healthy, green and connected city with high-quality and interconnected open spaces, parks, diverse natural areas and green and blue corridors. The Plan aims to strengthen the green and blue infrastructure of Cork City, to protect and promote biodiversity and habitat connectivity and natural areas, to protect and enhance Cork City’s unique landscape character and maritime heritage, and to ensure that all of Cork City’s residents have access to open spaces, recreation and amenity facilities and natural areas.
[OBJECTIVE 6.1] CORK CITY GREEN AND BLUE INFRASTRUCTURE STUDY AND STRATEGY
The City Development Plan’s green and blue infrastructure (GBI) strategy seeks to protect and enhance the green and blue infrastructure assets of the city. The GBI strategy has objectives relating to biodiversity, the water environment, climate change and land use management. The City Development Plan identifies emerging opportunities and interventions that have capacity to deliver a range of green and blue infrastructure outputs in the city to support the establishment of healthy, resilient, wilder and destination spaces across Cork City. The opportunities identified act as a framework for enhanced delivery of green and blue infrastructure in Cork City with a horizon of 2040.
