Dublin City Council Urban95 Pilot Initiative – Online Report
This Report offers an overview of an initiative which was undertaken by Dublin City Council during 2023 to 2024, which was primarily intended to explore the unique experiences of young children and their caregivers in the city of Dublin. It provides a historical context for how children’s needs, rights and priorities have become more of a focus of planning and design, as well as a detailed summary and description of the various components of the Urban 95 project. The Report is intended to provoke and promote further consideration of the value and validity of incorporating the perspectives and participation of young children, across the Council’s work and activities. A unique feature of the initiative was inviting artists to complement the research by gathering the personal stories and experiences of young children and their caregivers living in different neighbourhoods across the city.
Further detail is available in the ‘Your Dublin, Your Voice’ report on a survey which took place 21 February - 3 March 2024 with 1,024 respondents from the "Your Dublin, Your Voice" opinion panel - 22% response rate – and was supplemented by 760 additional respondents from target demographic of toddler caregivers.
