Rapid Urban Regeneration Study

The Limerick City Centre RAPID study was commissioned by Limerick City Council to assess and address the issues of deprivation and social inclusion through investment and development in this area of the city centre. Burke-Kennedy Doyle’s role was to produce a masterplan study for the document.

The study included “The Watergate” area of the city centre and all of Kings Island including both the heritage area around St. John’s Castle and St. Mary’s Park Estate at the north end of the island. The completed plan successfully identified areas for development and regeneration, and outlined uses to be considered in each of the three zones. The key urban planning issues along with proposals for their resolution were also highlighted to be included as part of any regeneration programme.
