The Academy of Urbanism, together with the RIAI, held a one-day conference in Limerick, Ireland, to explore topics such as the changing role of the public sector, how second-tier and mid-sized cities are using their assets, combined with events and milestones, to improve their offer and raise their profile. The event also sought to find out more about the role of digital urbanism in planning and servicing towns and cities.
