Abstract
Cork city's built environment encompasses the spaces where people live and interact, such as homes, workplaces, schools, streets, shops, healthcare facilities, parks, and neighbourhoods. The design of our built environment shapes our daily lives and is associated with population health outcomes, for example, good quality housing has a positive impact on a person’s health and wellbeing. Creating a “resilient, healthy, age-friendly and sustainable compact city” for residents in Cork is part of the strategic vision of the Cork City Development Plan (CCDP) (2022-2028) (CCC, 2022: 9). As a designated WHO Healthy City since 2012, Cork City Council is committed to embedding health considerations across all policies and sectors. This HIA is the first one carried out on a statutory development plan in Ireland. Cork City Council is the first local authority in Ireland to engage in carrying out such an assessment as part of a HIA Team on a city development plan. The HIA used the Institute of Public Health HIA guidance to navigate the process (Pyper et al. 2021) whilst also drawing on learnings from HIA practice from Wales and Scotland.
