Key Pillars and High-Level Goals
The key pillars of this LECP follow, with consistency, the driving values underpinning other major policies and programmes for our City. Principal amongst these are the Cork City Development Plan 2022-2028 and the “Cork 2050” Plan. The aim of the LECP is more economic and community focused and does not directly address spatial or planning issues. Nonetheless its key principles are the same and can be “mapped” to demonstrate their consistency as below: From its six High Level Goals the consistency of this plan with United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) and with the key themes of the Southern Region Regional Spatial and Economic Strategy (RSES), Cork 2050 and Cork City Development Plan can be traced across with reference to the closest relevant theme in those policy mandates in subsequent columns. There are overlapping themes such as, for instance, the RSES commitment to “Diversity, Language, Culture, and Heritage Enhancement (which speaks to both High Level Goals 2 and 3), Cork 2050’s commitment to “Place Making” (High Level Goals 4 and 5) and the Cork City Development Plans theme “A City of Neighbourhoods and Communities” (High Level Goals 4 and 5). Likewise, there are LECP High Level Goals that encompass more than one theme of other policy mandates. A good example of this is High Level Goal 4 “Economic and Enterprise Development” which contains at least three of the RSES themes of “Compact Growth”, “A strong economy” and “High Quality International Connectivity”. But overall, the continuity and consistency of policy for the city is evident and this stems in no small part from the City’s long tradition of metropolitan policy making: Commencing with the 1978 Land Use and Transport Study (LUTS), the Cork Area Strategic Plan 2001-2020 (CASP) and the 2017 Cork 2050 Plan, Cork City Council has been a national leader in driving policy and planning at local level that is in harmony with EU – and more lately global/UN- National and Regional policy.
The High Level Goals are:
HLG1: People & Community: A City Valuing Health and Wellbeing.
Objectives:
➢ To ensure Cork is a healthy city that connects to improve the health and wellbeing of all its people at all ages, reduces health inequalities and recognises the need for a holistic approach to health and wellbeing.
