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.
