Neighbours have been designing Dublin.
Neighbours have built gardens on derelict sites, parks on forgotten corners, book boxes on driveways and greens, willow arches in a city park, a city farm in Ballymun, networks that keep gardens going, parklets in parking spaces.
9 projects so far
Dublin By Design collects these projects, writes them up with the people who made them, and turns what they learned into guides anyone can use. It is free, and led by residents, not the council.
