Limerick’s Future Takes Shape: Public Events Launch ‘One City Revisited’

UPDATE: Limerick City and County Council, in partnership with the University of Limerick (UL), has just announced a groundbreaking initiative titled “One City Revisited,” aimed at reimagining the future of Limerick. This exciting project will kick off with two public events at CityLab, located on the UL campus, on August 21 and August 28.

The initiative invites residents to actively participate in shaping Limerick’s urban landscape, emphasizing community engagement and innovative thinking. Mayor John Moran is fully behind this effort, stating that “Limerick’s future can be great, should be great, and will be great if we open our minds to what is now possible.”

This project comes at a crucial time, as Limerick navigates its Development Plan and Climate Action Plan. The public events will feature an interactive city model, allowing attendees to visualize potential changes in their city. This hands-on approach aims to empower residents to take ownership of Limerick’s future.

Authorities are hopeful that this initiative will spur meaningful dialogue about urban development, especially following previous challenges in local projects. Notably, UL faced criticism after a lack of structural integrity reports led to complications with a significant property deal.

As excitement builds, the first event on August 21 offers a unique opportunity for community members to voice their ideas and concerns. The second event on August 28 is expected to draw even larger crowds, as residents gather to collaborate on this innovative vision for the city.

With the involvement of local leaders and experts, this initiative aims not just to dream but to implement actionable plans for Limerick’s growth. The Mayor expressed confidence that, through collaboration, Limerick can transform into a model city for sustainable development.

Residents are encouraged to participate and contribute their insights as Limerick prepares to embark on this transformative journey. Don’t miss the chance to be part of this critical conversation about the city’s future!
