Cork City Development Plan 2022 - 2028 Volume 1

Chapter 2 I Core Strategy

The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 2.7 In September 2015 world leaders adopted the United Nations (UN) 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The Agenda is a global road map setting out actions for people, the planet and prosperity. It is articulated through 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set out to end poverty, fight inequality and injustice and tackle climate change by 2030. Each SDG has specific goals, targets and indicators that UN member states are using to frame their agendas and policies. This Plan is designed to ensure Cork City can play its role in supporting the delivery of the SDGs.

2.5 The core strategy sets out a growth plan for Cork City that includes population targets and locations for future growth up to 2028 and beyond. These targets and growth locations are in line with the overarching ambitions and targets set for Cork City in the NPF and the RSES. 2.6 A central function of the Core Strategy is ensuring an acceptable equilibrium in the supply of zoned, serviced land that allows for the projected popula- tion growth up to 2028. This requirement is informed by evidence. Cork City Council and Cork County Council jointly commissioned a Housing Strategy and Housing Needs Demands Analysis (HNDA). The study provides a forecast of the type and tenure of housing that will be required in the City and County for the period of the plan, thereby informing the quantum of zoned serviced land required to meet this target.
