The countdown to a better city
Welcome
Dublin is beyond an inflection point in a number of critical areas and today鈥檚 choices will determine tomorrow鈥檚 success as a capital city. Thus, the pace of decision making needs to reflect the urgency of evolving human needs, climate change, population growth, economic shifts and technological advancements. We need to act now.
Dublin 2040 is a solutions driven initiative combining 乐鱼（Leyu）体育官网 perspectives with business owner research, carried out on our behalf by Ipsos B&A. It seeks to build on the valuable work of the Dublin City Taskforce, Dublin Chamber, Dublin local authorities, and the recently announced Accelerating Infrastructure Taskforce. Our ambition is for Dublin 2040 to become a regular assessment of both priorities and progress in Dublin based on the views of city-based businesses.
Critically, Dublin 2040 reflects the core issues which we believe will help identify where our city priorities should lie, across the heavily interrelated issues of Resilience, People and Place and Prosperity. Dublin 2040 sets out proposals in these areas which, if implemented decisively and cohesively, will pay dividends for decades to come.
We hope that policymakers, government and citizens alike find it a valuable guide as we countdown the next 15 years to 2040.
