‘People keep our city buzzing — not cars’

Expert says claim that Cork city’s streets are half-empty is misleading, writes Eoin English

William Brady, who is involved in research and teaching in UCC’s new Programme in Planning and Sustainable Development, said city centres should resist the temptation to become more like suburban shopping centres.
