Making Dublin a cleaner, greener city

DCC Planning Secretariat

A green city is a healthy city. Protecting and enhancing green space not only makes the city more sustainable, it makes it a more attractive place to live, work and visit. The Draft Development Plan contains many policies aimed at making Dublin a cleaner, greener city. These include:

- an overall ‘Green Infrastructure’ strategy that maps out new city-wide ‘green routes’
- play spaces and sports facilities at neighbourhood level
- sustainable connectivity between green areas
- enhanced tree planting along green routes
- protection of landscapes and biodiverse areas

Chapter 6 of the development plan is called ‘Greening the City.' It outlines these and many other proposed actions the city will take over the next six years. You can read a short summary of the chapter or download the original here. And you can view an interactive map that illustrates the proposed ‘Strategic Green Corridors’ here.

Have your say on these boards or make a written submission directly to Dublin City Council using the online submission form here.

Dublin City Council's 'Draft Development Plan, 2011-2017' is currently open for public consultation. The plan explains City Council strategy on everything from allotments and accommodation for artists to new economic corridors, new neighbourhoods, green spaces and low rise buildings.

We’re encouraging Dubliners to look at the Draft Plan, discuss any issues on these boards and make a comment directly to Dublin City Council via the online submission form.

You can find out more at www.dublincitydevelopmentplan.ie, where there are videos, text summaries and an interactive map of Dublin in 2017. All feedback will be reviewed before the plan is adopted by the City Council at the end of the year.
