Galway Public Realm Strategy
View all projectsGalway is a lively medieval city on the west coast of Ireland, with an abundance of culture, tourism and history. The Public Realm Strategy sets out a bold vision which proposes a step change in quality and a restructuring of public spaces to put people first. Design is kept simple, functional and of place, allowing the public realm to be a complimentary and resilient backdrop to everything the city has to offer. The Strategy is accompanied by a set of manuals (Activity, Design and Delivery) which provide a practical tool that can be used by everyone who has a role in delivery, from the Council making strategic decisions, to the workers repairing surfacing.
