🌎@GuajajaraSonia spoke truth to power at the #UN: “Unless we secure the land rights of Indigenous peoples everywhere, we will lose the power to keep protecting nature. The future of the planet is Indigenous!" Join the call! #WeAreIndigenous #IndigenousDefenseFront

Love this! As a second generation Cork (I grew up in France) I'm so proud cycling around Cork City, the way my grandpa used to 60 years ago :)

After nearly a year of deliberation tomorrow sees the publication of the Citizens' Assembly recommendations on biodiversity loss. This is going to be big!!

It was great to discuss Urban trees and greening the city with Cork environmental Forum this week :) a lot of challenges that will only be tackled by the city and local communities working together 💚🙌🌳🍄🐛🐝
Did u know that +70% of trees or in private lands?

Some interesting facts being shared by @corkcitycouncil at #treesinthecity @NanoNaglePlace @corklearning #corklearningfest @CorkNatNetwork

Great webinar organised by @ICLEI_Europe on Gender in planning. Eva Kail from Vienna shared insights on applying a fairness check to all projects/ using their Gender + concept, looking at
- social roles
- life phases
- cultural/social
- specific needs

Sad situation in Ireland where most agricultural lands are reserved for beef and dairy to export... Food security is a Myth! All fruit and veg are imported 😔 @irishexaminer

[UCC Planning Society @UCCplanningsoc]

The UCC Planning Society would like to encourage all those attending our Annual Planning Conference 2023 to bring a reusable coffee cup and water bottle!

This will help reduce our plastic consumption and waste to benefit our environment!

UCC Planning Conference - Energy Infrastructure session: challenge of the transition to RES, speed needed due to accute climate crisis. The sooner we change, the more impact we will have by 2030! Issues for planning: inconsistency across LAs development plans /cumulative impacts

[Kelly Cotel @KellyCotel]

Great UCC Planning society conference. Highlighting the need for more strategic planning and addressing issues of equality and sustainability more upstream in the process. Human and environmental issues go hand in hand.

My granny and her brothers and sisters on Patrick Street, Cork back on the day. Family legend says the Horse was named Dolly ☺️

Great @URBACT_IE event in Sligo today, as part of the Playful cities network. How to create fun activities and games to activate our streets and town centres.

Density done right 👍 when buildings are the height of the tallest local tree. It's palm trees down in the south of France in the small town of Golfe Juan 🌴

Really nice example of urban greening in Paris, Villa M. A vertical green wall at the front of the building that blends in really nicely with the streetscape, public realm and other surrounding buildings of Hausmann style. #UrbanPlanning @UCCplanningsoc https://t.co/2MjMZ2bxTb

[Kelly Cotel @KellyCotel]

Oui! Bricks, and mostly the joy of seeing a distinctive building, bring a lot to a street :) we need more colour and fun in our towns and cities !

[createstreets @createstreets]

The joy of bricks. 🇫🇷

@ThePegDavis @PlanningUCC @corkcitycouncil @IPICork These areas are part of the Cork County Development plan but they were both based on larger National and regional plans (NPF 2040, Southern Regional Assembly plans). The two councils also prepared a Joint housing strategy together to prepare the dev plans. https://t.co/lloPwQQaJk

[Kelly Cotel @KellyCotel]

V proud to have been working on the new Development plan for Cork City. Check out the storymap we created to explain the vision for a sustainable approach to growth up to 2040. It has lots of maps !

The 2028 Core Strategy vision. Trying to plan for a liveable compact growth of the whole metropolitan area. Sustainability means concentrating growth in areas that are well serviced / have plans for more services in the future (transport/ infrastructure)
🎯10 min walkable areas

Great event on hedgehogs by @CorkNatNetwork with Elaine O'Riodan. Relevant in planning as they thrive in urban environments but need good corridors, low fences and a lot of hedges, away from the roads. You can participate in recording them on Irish Hedgehog survey.
