- Revitalising Ireland’s TownsE5
Revitalising Ireland’s TownsFor generations, towns and villages were the focal point of our communities, as places of commerce, governance and social interaction. But in recent years, as the populations of our rural towns and villages decline, essential services like banks, post offices and police stations close down. With fewer reasons to visit the town, footfall declines, negatively impacting existing business while simultaneously discouraging new business and investment. Travelling across the country Duncan discovers the challenges facing our towns and learns what good quality design, strong leadership and community buy-in can do to improve the quality of life for all living and working in our towns. This episode shows how spatial planning profoundly impacts the viability of communities, and how a redesign of our rural towns and villages can breathe new life and hope back into rural Ireland. - Retrofitting IrelandE9
Retrofitting IrelandAt the centre of Ireland’s incredibly ambitious climate change commitments is an extraordinary target to deep retrofit at least 500,000 homes in the next ten years. This would represent a 50-fold increase in home upgrades in Ireland. What would it take to realise this goal? - Design for LifeE10
Design for LifeThe scale and speed at which we extract finite resources to produce, consume and dispose of goods has led to environmental destruction now impossible to ignore. Dr Lara Dungan looks at how Ireland can move to a circular economy, where we eliminate waste and extend the life cycle of products for as long as possible.
