...I'm sorry to disrupt you while you're reading this article, but without messages like this, IrishCycle.com's reader-funded journalism won't survive. With nearly 1/2 million views and 300k readers so-far this year, it's not just people who are dedicated to cycling that this website reaches. However, the number of subscribers is around 0.6% of readers. While having a large gap between readers/subscribers is standard for non-paywall reader-supported journalism, IrishCycle's journalism needs more support. Don't delay, support monthly or yearly today. Now, back to the article...


Dr Lawton is assistant professor of Geography at Trinity College Dublin and the course director of the MSc in Smart and Sustainable Cities.

TCD said his research focus is supporting the sustainable development of urban spaces, and his work has “explored the impact of factors like gentrification, accounting for the perspectives of different stakeholders to support a clearer vision of urban towns of the future.”

The college said: “Philip will discuss recent ideals of urban sustainability, such as the ’15-Minute City’ in their broader context, to examine the relationship between ideals of urbanism and processes of urbanization from a historical and contemporary perspective.”


...That's the end of the article. Keep scrolling if you want to the comments, but IrishCycle.com *NEEDS* readers like you to keep it that way. It only requires a small percentage of readers to give a bit each month or every year to keep IrishCycle.com's journalism open to all. Thank you.
