[QUOTE="Stacky, post: 7274731, member: 22688"] Most cities were built in river plains and marshes etc. and prone to flooding (Paris,Prague,London,Dublin etc) and flood mitigation measures with quay walls etc built over the centuries. Try Oslo, Lisbon, Prague and Budapest etc. all very hilly in parts and even very wet. Cork is very flat in the city centre (East-West) and with electric bikes and electric scooters etc topography is not an issue. The development of huge car dependent U.S. style suburban shopping centres on the outskirts of cities in Ireland, U.K. and U.S.A. has decimated cities with the doughnut* effect of hollowing out the central core area of butchers and fishmongers etc. What us happening now is that more apartments and infill developments with homes are happening in the city as it evolves to a more social-retail-cultural space with businesses still thriving. RDJ recently moved back into the city from Mahon with hundreds of workers. Offices that will do well are the "A" rated buildings rather than the older offices on the Mall etc. Mahon Point etc is just sterile and boring anyway compared to the experience of the city centre with narrow streets and English Market etc. [/QUOTE]
