Recorded October 17, 2019.

A panel discussion with Finola O'Kane Crimmins (UCD), Kathryn Milligan (UCD), Federico Cugurullo (TCD), and Brian Caulfield (TCD) Chaired by Tom Walker (TCD) as part of the 'Trinity and the Changing City' Series.

From the establishment of the Wide Streets Commission in the eighteenth century through to the current BusConnects and Metro proposals, Dublin's transport and its infrastructure has profoundly shaped the experiences of the city's inhabitants. It has also been a recurrent source of contestation and debate. Looking to the city's past and future travel plans, contributors to this session will include the architectural and landscape historian Finola O'Kane Crimmins, Kathryn Milligan, author of the forthcoming study Days Long Dead: Painting Dublin, 1886–1949, Federico Cugurullo, Assistant Professor in Smart and Sustainable Urbanism at Trinity, and Brian Caulfield, Associate Professor in Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering at Trinity and former Chair of the Irish Transportation Research Network.

Trinity and the Changing City is organised by the Identities in Transformation research theme, led by Daniel Faas, Department of Sociology, and is supported by the Trinity Long Room Hub Arts and Humanities Research Institute.
