Launch of final report of Mapping Green Dublin project

Posted on June 9, 2021.

You are invited to the launch of Strategic Pathways to Community-led Greening – the final report of the Mapping Green Dublin project on June 10th at 6pm. You can book a ticket through Eventbrite.

Mapping Green Dublin’s research responds to recent research by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Health Service Executive (HSE) that has highlighted the importance of green space and urban greening on health and wellbeing. Increased interaction with greenspace leads to more positive health outcomes but greening strategies must be fit-for-purpose. Simply put place matters! Our community strategy highlights how communities all across the country and beyond can take the tools we have created to develop projects and deliver real change in their own neighbourhoods.

PLOTS – mapping Dublin 8

Posted on April 27, 2020.

PLOTS is a project created by artist Seoidín O’Sullivan that invites you with Mapping Green Dublin to create a map of your current 2km run, walk or cycle route.

Your PLOTS Map will form an integral part of our Dublin 8 community atlas, building a picture of our valuable public green infrastructure across Dublin’s south west inner city. Let’s work together to make our city bike and pedestrian friendly and give everyone fair access to green space.

You can create your map in two ways:

Use My Map app on your phone and share.
Draw and photograph your map and share.

Mapping Green Dublin’s research is funded by the EPA and is a partnership between UCD Geography, Common Ground, Artist Seoidín O’Sullivan and Connect the Dots.
