Description

Saving The City is a groundbreaking new 10-part limited-series podcast that sheds light on the multiple issues Dublin is facing, and works to solve these issues by bringing the best minds together at home and abroad.

Presented by Una Mullally. Produced by Lisa Gallagher Fox and Una Mullally. Editor- Shane Dempsey / Collaborative Studios. This series was supported by Dublin Town.

All cities suffered during the pandemic, but Dublin more than most. Yet this also offers ground-up opportunities to reimagine how our capital functions.

Presented by journalist and author Una Mullally, Saving The City offers an injection of hope and positivity for Dublin, with practical solutions to revolutionize how our city works, and how to improve the quality of life for its residents.

“I’ve been writing about Dublin for most of my adult life, tracking everything from arts scenes to social movements, small businesses and local government. As someone who cares deeply about the city, one of the things I feel is consistently lacking in discourse about the present state and future vision for the Irish capital are great ideas that express ambition and enthusiasm for doing things better. That’s what Saving The City is about: talking to really smart people doing great work on the ground in Dublin, and international experts who bring their insight to how Dublin and all cities can flourish post-pandemic. Beginning with the principles of Jane Jacobs, Saving The City tracks what works well and where, and how we can do more of it, as well as introducing listeners to radical and innovative ideas that would improve urban life, and create genuinely thriving, beautiful, and equitable cities.” - Una Mullally

Across ten episodes, Saving The City aims to end the doom loop, and tracks solutions for public space, housing, gentrification, nighttime culture, biodiversity, cooperative models and community wealth-building, social cohesion, and design.
