Over the last two episodes, Matt has spoken to a wide range of people - both experts and city dwellers - about the very real urban crisis that exists in Ireland today. We’ve also heard about how the challenges and necessities of the past have informed the problems we now face today in cities like Dublin, Galway, Cork, Waterford and Limerick.

In this episode, we take a deep-dive into the populations and people at the centre of it all. We'll hear how cities should be designed for a broad range of needs, how the Irish Cities Group approach demographics and the impact that widespread dereliction is having. Because if we’ve learned anything so far, it’s that an urban crisis is a human crisis.
