Members of Engineers Ireland, engineers, architects, landscape architects, and other relevant professionals from the built environment, are invited to take part in a design competition to propose an innovative, creative, and a sustainable vision of Cork City and the Metropolitan Area in 80 years time, 2101 – a reimagination of Cork as a waterside regional City on the edge of Europe. Participants are encouraged to collaborate with other professional disciplines.
The competition is a call for applicants to prepare a vision, including sketch design proposals where applicable, to enable Cork City’s 2101 population and economy to continue to be an innovative, sustainable, vibrant, and healthy city, with a great quality of life for its citizens and visitors.
