How can Dublin create competitive working places that attract and sustain innovative enterprises? How can commercial developments give more to the city in terms of social and environmental sustainability? How do cities accommodate the range of businesses which make up a healthy business ecology, from large floor-plate investors to smaller scale start-ups?
Speakers at this event will address these and other questions from the point of view of end-users, the market, design, planning and urban landscape and environment.
