Developing Dublin

Recorded February 7, 2019. A panel discussion with Ger Casey, Chief
Executive Officer for the Grangegorman Development Agency, and Cian
O’Callaghan, co-author of Governing Vacancy in Post-crash Dublin:
Contested Property and Alternative Social Projects, and Melanie
Hayes, Dep of History of Art and Architecture, TCD: Building Booms
and Busts: Dublin's Architectural Heritage in Decline? as part of
the 'Trinity and the Changing City' lecture series. Dublin’s built
environment has changed dramatically since the property bubble and
subsequent economic crisis. Major sites of ongoing and proposed
development across the city include Grangegorman, Parnell Square,
and Trinity’s own Technology and Enterprise Campus – all still
juxtaposed with many vacant and unused buildings. What do these
developments mean for a city historically rich in creativity and
culture? Join Ger Casey, Melanie Hayes and Cian O’Callaghan in this
reflective yet forward-looking discussion. Learn more at:
