'Amazing, Enriching Experience': RePIC Master's Students Engage in CityLabs Week

25 Mar 2024

Students of the UNIC joint master's programme RePIC MSc (Redesigning the Post-Industrial City) reflect on their experience of the CityLabs Week in Cork in January 2024, when they got the opportunity to collaborate and co-create responses to societal challenges alongside Cork community groups and city council staff. 

RePIC focuses on the urban challenges of cities in post-industrial transition and their superdiverse populations. The programme is led in UCC by Architecture and Geography, represented by the Joint Programme Directors, Dr Jason O’Shaughnessy and Dr Denis Linehan. 

This year, the UNIC CityLabs Week - overseen by Ciara O'Halloran and Dr Martin Galvin from UCC Civic and Community Engagement - examined urban issues in the policy context of the current development of the City’s Local and Economic Community Plan 2023-2029.

Thank you to Maximilian, Yeşim, and Matthew for sharing their perspectives on the week.
