Almost 1,000 people engaged in a series of sectoral think tanks and an open survey to identify the best
route to a resilient and sustainable recovery for Cork. Each discussion was guided by the Chamber’s commitment to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Paula Cogan, Chamber President said, “Despite the intense and acute need to keep books balanced and people in work, in the creation of this report discussion passionately and relentlessly turned to the future vision of Cork.”
“Across each of our ten sectoral think tanks the same themes emerged time and time again. Better public and sustainable transport infrastructure. A quickened rollout of the National Broadband Plan. More people living in the heart of our city and towns. Flexible working. Enhancement and protection of ecology, from the planting of trees to wildflower verges. Renewable energy. Real equality for people of any gender, race or background.
