It's the neighbourhood, stupid! That’s where community happens. What if we applied Ireland’s policy stack to a single street? You’d get less space for cars and more for people. Safer walking. Better public transport. Greenery woven in. More reasons to stop, chat, belong. Policy only matters if it shows up on your street. Source: linkedin.com/posts/eimearfo…
