dc.description.abstractThis paper analyses Cork's trajectory towards a sustainable, innovative, and globally connected urban centre. On Ireland's south coast, Cork serves as an exemplar of how second-tier cities can undergo transformation and structural change, emerging as an exemplar of economic success. The paper explores the synergies between policymaking, labour markets, and transportation improvements, specifically in the pharmaceutical and IT sectors, noting their clustering and success in international markets. It explores challenges and opportunities presented by demographic shifts alongside an analysis of Cork's transport system, its port capabilities, and connectivity. The paper links to the UN SDGs and suggests strategies to promote sustainable growth and boost innovation. These enhance Cork's technological capacities, educational attainment, sustainable urban planning, and transport systems. It offers insights into urban development, focusing on place-based, future-oriented solutions and strategic directions for Cork. This study extends beyond Cork, offering a roadmap for other second-tier cities grappling with similar challenges and opportunities. It emphasises the need for comprehensive unified approaches to urban planning, aligning with global sustainability objectives, innovative standards, and best practices in city management. Cork not only pioneers its path towards resilience and innovation but also serves as a model for global second-tier cities, showcasing the growth and transformation potential of urban centres.en
