Aligning housing with public realmWhat’s critical now is to align Docklands housing delivery with adequate transport infrastructure, utilities and services, adequate public realm (the stellar redevelopment of Marina Park is a head start), and adequate flood defences and climate resilience. Transport infrastructureTHE city’s transport infrastructure is also critical to its successful development. Approved housing bodies are increasingly playing a role in housing delivery in the city. On Albert Quay, Clúid Housing has partnered with John Cleary Developments and the city council to deliver 217 units in Railway Apartments. The challenge is to maintain the pace of change, and to reshape the city to meet the needs of future generations.
