The City on the Move

Recorded October 17, 2019. A panel discussion with Finola O'Kane
Crimmins (UCD), Kathryn Milligan (UCD), Federico Cugurullo (TCD),
and Brian Caulfield (TCD) Chaired by Tom Walker (TCD) as part of
the 'Trinity and the Changing City' Series. From the establishment
of the Wide Streets Commission in the eighteenth century through to
the current BusConnects and Metro proposals, Dublin's transport and
its infrastructure has profoundly shaped the experiences of the
city's inhabitants. It has also been a recurrent source of
contestation and debate. Looking to the city's past and future
travel plans, contributors to this session will include the
architectural and landscape historian Finola O'Kane Crimmins,
Kathryn Milligan, author of the forthcoming study Days Long Dead:
Painting Dublin, 1886–1949, Federico Cugurullo, Assistant Professor
in Smart and Sustainable Urbanism at Trinity, and Brian Caulfield,
Associate Professor in Department of Civil, Structural and
Environmental Engineering at Trinity and former Chair of the Irish
Transportation Research Network. Trinity and the Changing City is
organised by the Identities in Transformation research theme, led
by Daniel Faas, Department of Sociology, and is supported by the
Trinity Long Room Hub Arts and Humanities Research Institute. Learn
