Background to Reimagine Dublin One:

 The Reimagine Dublin One programme is an initiative between Dublin City Architects’ Framework project, the American Institute of Architects and DublinTown. Its purpose is to empower communities to improve their environment through an open, collaborative and systematic approach. It brings the public, policy makers, community and business leaders together to devise a vision and agree a framework for collective action and is delivered with the help of expert practitioners working on a voluntary basis.

A steering group has been formed which includes stakeholders from a wide background including numerous departments of Dublin City Council, DublinTown, local businesses, residents, architects, the disability federation, public transport and infrastructure providers, local elected representatives and several others.

The focus area is the Dublin One District from O’Connell Street running as far as Capel Street and from Parnell Street to the Quays. The project will culminate with the visit of the American Institute of Architects from 10^th to 13^th March 2017 where they will have the opportunity to engage with local stakeholders and members of the public and to devise a vision document for the area based on this extensive collaboration and consultation.
