‘SUB-URBAN – Galway Charter Update’

About

Can Galway be a ‘Compact City’ again? - Through generations of sprawling, low-density sub-urban growth, combined with a lack of critical infrastructure and service provision, Galway City now faces an immense challenge to continue to serve its growing community.

The Galway Charter has sought, through discussion and open debate, to find and define solutions to the multi-faceted challenges faced by the city. These solutions, crafted to respond to the unique conditions of Galway, will also inform a methodology that is transferrable to other European cities.

This event will present the practical implementation to-date of the Galway Charter’s principles, while affording opportunity to discuss and inform its further development.

Join us in this conversation.

Opening by Galway City Council’s Chief Executive, Leonard Cleary.

This event is supported by Galway City Council and hosted by Galway City Council Urban Development Directorship as part of Architecture at the Edge Festival 2025
