Irish Cities in Crisis is a brand new podcast from the RIAI and Poddle Audio which is inspired by the book published last year under the same title. The series builds on the argument that Irish cities are in crisis because current planning and development systems are not delivering the well-designed environments needed for the future. It presents a wealth of ideas and achievable solutions and champions collaboration between citizens and city makers — including civil society and local, regional, and state governments — to bring about change. Contributors from across architecture, planning, economy and community activism offer a range of solutions but are united in their view that political courage and a radical shift in the mindset are required for how we finance, govern, design and plan Irish cities. Cities must be recognised for what they are – the engines of our social, economic and cultural lives – and they must be treated with imagination and care. Great cities and towns are our future.
