The Temporary City Workshop

The Temporary City Workshop was hosted by Dr Niamh Moore-Cherry on Tuesday 21 October in Nova UCD. The workshop is part of the Greening as Spatial Politics project funded by the IRC New Foundations scheme 2013 and is a collaboration between geographers at University College Dublin and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. The goal of the workshop was to facilitate networking across a diversity of stakeholders and initiate discussion on temporary urban interventions in Dublin. The workshop was attended by the City Architect, researchers, planners, artists, social entrepreneurs and academics from three universities in Ireland and the keynote address was by Prof Peter Bishop, Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London. The output was a series of recommendations to Dublin City Council and other stakeholders on the promotion and benefits of encouraging temporary urban use in the city.
