Urban Density and Building Heights Study

The purpose of the Galway City Urban Density and Building Heights Study is to examine what are the optimal densities and heights that can achieve the most efficient and effective use of land, can make a positive contribution to the character of the city, can create good quality mixed use communities while also contribute to successful place making and liveability. The study will contribute to the formulation of a strategy on density and height that will inform the preparation of the Draft Galway City Development Plan 2023–2029.
