11.1.5.16 City Heritage Plan

City Heritage Plan

The Dublin City Heritage Plan complements the policies of the Dublin City Development Plan. The principal aim of the Heritage Plan is to ensure a high quality urban environment by positioning ‘place’ central to all Heritage Plan activities, with a key aim of the emerging new Heritage Plan to foster a sense of understanding, involvement, belonging, ownership and enjoyment in the city’s heritage amongst its diverse residents and visitors alike.

The new Dublin City Heritage Plan will be published in 2017 and will be based on the consultative process undertaken in 2012. The new heritage plan will set in place a framework for collaboration within the City Council and with external partners to identify and carry forward research priorities from the first plan and to create a mechanism for identifying and delivering new research themes, projects and communicating with diverse audiences. One such project will be a Docklands Heritage Trail to promote the heritage of the area.
