🏙️ Ireland’s cities face a stark mismatch: record office vacancy sits alongside historic housing demand. Our new report shows how adaptable buildings could be the solution. Read the full report here: https://t.co/yqPY5CVMK0 #BuildingAdaptably #HousingCrisis

As @keyes addresses an Oireachtas committee today and boasts of @progressireland lobbying for the lowgrade idea of cabins in gardens, here's an insight into Collison's flawed analysis and the complex and underinvestigated origins of his insidious thinktank

Would help the quality of debate if @IrishTimes contextualised some of these survey findings rather than uncritical regurgitation. What is the current excess of zoned land? What are the governance/resource implications of speeding up zoning? https://t.co/ly8zTYquGm etc

[Theo McDonald @tbald101]

New report authored by the ex govt adviser, and funded by Collison brothers, who secured a meeting with said brothers to deregulate planning

Strange for RTÉ not to mention this in the article

They've done it again, they've cut more rail projects. The most criminal one for me is cancelling the reopening of the Waterford-Wexford/Rosslare line. On the left is the All-island Rail Review published by the last government and on the right is the plan published today.

Developers should be mandated to construct adaptable buildings to avoid future commercial property vacancy issues in city centres, according to a new report by The Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB)

[Joseph Kilroy @JosephPKilroy]

Policy can drive change: the report recommends embedding adaptability scores in planning decisions, encouraging circular construction, and using public land to set a future-proof standard. #BuildingAdaptably #UrbanDevelopment

[Joseph Kilroy @JosephPKilroy]

Designing for adaptability — generous floor heights, flexible floorplates, modular services — allows buildings to shift from office to residential, co-living, or mixed-use without demolition. #SustainableBuilding #HousingCrisis

[Joseph Kilroy @JosephPKilroy]

@Pidge it's important to interrogate why we have an excess of land zoned for housing and why planning permissions are not built out before zoning more land. Zoning more land will create a bonanza of land value increases which we simply do not have the administrative tools to democratise

[Joseph Kilroy @JosephPKilroy]

Really pleased to contribute to this fantastic article in The Irish Times by Sorcha Pollak: https://t.co/9sk9bm7AxO

@TBBforTalent could provide an additional stream of labour for the Irish construction sector given staff shortages and our housing and infrastructure ambitions

[Joseph Kilroy @JosephPKilroy]

@RobCross247 size is an issue but, as you rightly point out, there seems to be little consideration given to the impact on land values. Given gov obsession w/viability, policy intervention should happen downstream of final product, ideally to dampen the dysfunctional, inflated land market.

[Joseph Kilroy @JosephPKilroy]

I was happy to contribute to this valuable piece outlining the unintended consequences of permissive zoning in the absence of a viable public delivery mechanism https://t.co/1yfiSa1568

It's almost as if building until house prices decrease to an affordable level is not in their business interests

I am FoI'ing the BBC on some issues to do with Israel-Gaza. DG Tim Davie told MPs on Mar 4: “Part of what I have tried to do for the BBC is to be a guardian of true impartiality through thick and thin, and that requires being completely transparent.“ But the BBC has so far withheld this information

🚗🚉New @NEF research shows England's new homes are locking in more and more car dependency every year🏘️🛣️

This means higher emissions, worse places, less transport choice and more economic exclusion.

What is going wrong? How can the govt avoid repeating these mistakes?... 🧵

[Joseph Kilroy @JosephPKilroy]

Low stakes but here goes: the newish standard web-page format for Gov consultation responses, which doesn't allow for proper referencing, and rarely asks specific questions, reflects a further dumbing down of the policy process...
