The IC 70 Working Group was established by the Royal Institute of the Architects of Ireland (RIAI) and the Irish Academy of Engineering (IAE) to recommend how Irish cities should be developed in the period to 2070, taking into account realistic demographic and population distribution projections and the experience of European cities, whose development plans were designed to truly ensure sustainable development. In that context it has undertaken a major review and published a report and recommendations of how Galway could be developed and a study of the integrated land use and transportation options for Dublin. Academy President Tom Leahy thanked Academy Fellow Gerry Duggan for his leadership role in supporting this joint RIA/IAE working group and its recommendations.
