Unseen Potential: Adaptive Reuse & Regeneration for Thriving places
Galway Chamber, is committed to regeneration that creates the right environment for thriving communities across both city and county. Building on the recent launch of its Adaptive reuse in Galway Report, the Chamber is convening a panel of experts to explore the unseen potential within existing buildings and streetscapes, and what practical steps can turn these spaces and places into new homes and vibrant neighbourhoods.
Moderated by Karen Ronan (CEO, Galway Chamber), the panel will bring together perspectives from planning, construction, conservation, and architecture.
Speakers include;
Justin Molloy - Director, Construction Industry Federation (CIF) Western Region.
Michael Scott - Executive Architectural Conservation Officer, Galway City Council.
Seán Dockry – MD at Seán Dockry and Associates (Architects)
Gus McCarthy - Director, MKO Planning and Environmental Consultants
Together they will explore how adaptive reuse, conservation, and planning innovation can address vacancy, provide new housing options, and strengthen neighbourhoods across the city and county. A founding partner of The Galway Charter, the event will open up further discussion on what practical steps we can take to support the faster, viable delivery of housing and urban/rural regeneration. We are delighted to present this special Architecture at the Edge Festival event in collaboration with Galway Chamber and partners.
Event organized by Galway City Chamber with support from The RIAI (The Royal Institute of the Architects of Ireland)
