Experts appointed to design spaces in city docklands

CONSULTANTS have been appointed to design the public spaces in Cork’s docklands region, earmarked for massive regeneration.

The city council signed the €900,000 contract with Mitchell + Associates Landscape Architects yesterday.

A team at Mitchell + Associates’ Cork office will lead a consortium of consultants who will prepare detailed designs for roads, footpaths, plazas and amenity areas along the north and south quays, the proposed District Centre Plaza on Centre Park Road, Kennedy Park and Monahan Road’s Linear Park.
