Its a shame that all the space isnt used up as much as possible. Most of country is low dentisty and we have enough green spaces. It probably wont but Cork has the potential to become a city of high rises (well only a few and compared to dublin). We really need a counter balance in this country to dublin and cork should be it !

I’ve no problems with high-rise (including buildings that are much taller than proposed). If anything high-rise should allow for some open space between buildings. Although the country as a whole has a large number of open spaces, they are a rarity in the centre of Cork (more so than Dublin even).

Also, from large cities like London or Paris to cities more similar in size to Cork, like Cardiff or The Hague, you’ll find that the areas of cities that have significant green space available are the ones with the highest value residential and commercial properties.
