Dublin ranks as the second-worst city globally for traffic congestion, but the city is taking bold steps to change that. In a recent TIME article, experts—including Prof. Brian Caulfield—discuss Dublin’s plan to reduce traffic by 40% by 2028, cut emissions, and follow the example of cities like Paris and Amsterdam. However, these changes also raise concerns for small businesses, as they navigate the challenges of new traffic restrictions. This article offers a deep dive into the complex balance between urban sustainability and economic viability. A must-read for anyone interested in the future of cities!

About us
Trinity College Dublin is an ambitious project to expand education and research activities across three of its Schools: the Schools of Engineering, Natural Sciences, and Computer Science & Statistics. Recognising the importance for humanity in addressing the challenge of sustainable technological development, the expansion of the three Schools is being executed as a single strategic activity in the area of “Engineering, Environment, and Emerging Technologies”, or E3. The E3 vision enables; The creation of a purpose built, multidisciplinary, foundry for the delivery of innovations in research and teaching within the Schools of Engineering, Natural Science and Computer Science and Statistics. A future-proofed education for new graduates who will enable society to live on this planet in a way that is sustainable and equitable. The underpinning of the infrastructural and staffing needs of these expanded Schools to ensure that their outputs are world leading. An increase in the number of STEM students within Trinity by over one third in 10 years. With E3, Trinity promotes the Vision of a society where the interdependence between technological innovation and our natural capital is advanced by world-leading research, education and entrepreneurship. E3 will position Ireland at the forefront of fields of research in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (the STEM disciplines), that are crucial for future economic competitiveness. It will educate engineers and scientists for employment in existing and new technology sectors, equip them with the skills and attributes to lead in the creation of new businesses, and place Ireland in a leadership role globally for the quality of graduates in the STEM disciplines.

A groundbreaking report on Ireland's cost rental housing shows that 63% of residents are drawn to these homes due to long-term stability. In addition to security, factors like home quality and affordable rents are driving positive resident experiences. 📊 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐝𝐞: 1. 84% of residents feel very secure in their tenancy 2. 70% have a positive relationship with their housing provider 3. Rent represents 34.5% of tenants’ disposable income, raising important considerations around affordability Led by Dr. Michael Byrne (UCD) and Dr. Cian O’Callaghan (Trinity College Dublin), this research highlights the transformative impact of cost rental housing on security, inclusion, and well-being.

In a world where urbanisation is rapidly transforming our landscapes, green spaces have become a precious commodity. But not all urban environments are created equal, and a new study by Claire Cooper, Marcus Collier, Melissa Pineda-Pinto, Natalia Rodríguez Castañeda, Mairéad O'Donnell, and Fiona Nulty sheds light on an often overlooked—but vital—element of urban nature: urban novel ecosystems. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐔𝐫𝐛𝐚𝐧 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥 𝐄𝐜𝐨𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐬? Urban novel ecosystems are unconventional green spaces that arise in post-industrial sites, informal green areas, and vacant lots. They are characterised by spontaneous vegetation growing amidst remnants of urban infrastructure, creating unique, visually complex environments that don’t fit into traditional ecological categories. In their newly published research, Cooper and her team delve into public perceptions of these ecosystems. With urban biodiversity in crisis and many communities lacking access to traditional green spaces, the significance of urban novel ecosystems is on the rise. 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐲: The study explored how people perceive these wild and often chaotic landscapes. By conducting workshops across four cities in the global north, the researchers uncovered a spectrum of attitudes—some see beauty and biodiversity in the overgrown spaces, while others view them as neglected or unattractive. 𝐎𝐧𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐣𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲? Aesthetic and functional improvements, like adding pathways or community art, can significantly shift public opinion, making these spaces more accessible and appreciated. 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬? This research could revolutionise how we approach urban rewilding and conservation. By balancing ecological goals with the aesthetic and functional needs of communities, urban novel ecosystems can become more than just wild, unmanaged spaces—they can evolve into valuable public resources that foster a connection between people and nature. If you’re passionate about urban ecology, environmental conservation, or how cities can balance development with nature, this is a must-read. Explore the full study and gain fresh insights into the future of urban nature conservation!
