Galway Charter Update
Galway City Council Urban Development Directorship
Since the two major international conference on sustainable urbanism held in Galway (Reimagining the Irish City and Town April 2023 & Lifelong Neighbourhoods: Planning, designing and delivering the 21st century neighbourhood May 2024), the publication and signing of the Greater Galway Charter and the publication of the Irish Cities Group ‘Irish Cities in Crisis’ we return to the Druid Theatre to reflect on the work done to date and to plot a direction for the future. 80 years ago Galway was a compact, sustainable, ‘15 minute City’, we pose the question Can Galway be a compact City again?
Major investment and governance changes have been made by City Hall to create a new Urban Development Directorship. This Directorship, in collaboration with many stakeholders, have progressed projects that are in line with the principles of the Greater Galway Charter. We want to afford them an opportunity to discuss in short 5 minute presentation the key points of their positions.
If you are interested in the shaping the future of the City this is a key event to come to.
