Chapter 2 I Core Strategy
1. City Centre: Increased regeneration and consolidation of Cork City Centre focusing on the delivery of more homes and providing a broader mix of uses to enhance the city centres role as an employment, retail, cultural, learning and entertainment destination. 2. Docklands: The City Docks regeneration project is of inter- national importance, offering 146ha of brownfield lands adjacent to the city centre with potential to be an exemplar for sustainable urban living. Tivoli Docks is a unique opportunity for longer-term brownfield regeneration of 56ha of waterfront located 2.5km from the city centre and on the rail line. 3. City Consolidation and Expansion: The delivery of compact growth includes the consolidation and expansion of seven strategic areas within and adjoining the existing City: • Blackpool (Kilbarry),
4. District Centres and Urban Town Centres:
Six district centres are identified to enhance the role these areas already play as centres providing a mix of uses for their surrounding neighbourhoods. Three urban town centres are identified to further deliver an appropriate mix of uses to meet local need. 5. Neighbourhood Development Sites: The strategy identifies underutilised sites within existing neighbourhoods and towns that are locally important. These sites have significant capacity for neighbourhood regeneration to enhance the delivery of walkable neighbourhoods and the 15-minute city (see ch.10 for more detail). 6. The Hinterland: Growth in the city hinterland is managed through the delivery of scaled community, housing and local employment developments in the settlements of Killeens, Upper Glanmire and Kerry Pike. Any development proposals in the remainder of the hinterland will be closely managed to protect against unnecessary and unplanned urban sprawl.
