Abstract

With cycling campaigns and '#streetsareforpeople' hashtags becoming more prevalent, public awareness and interest in the nature of public space, in who uses it, and in how we might potentially use it, is growing all the time. In Ireland, we see a strong focus on public space as a conduit for transport and mobility as people increasingly ask: is too much space being given over to cars and vehicular traffic? Can better provision be made for cyclists? And where does the battle between the car and the bike leave the pedestrian?
