Kildare & Newbridge Town Renewal

In 2018, Metropolitan Workshop were commissioned by Kildare County Council to prepare a Town Renewal Plan for Kildare Town. The plan is based on a detailed urban design analysis and public consultation prior to the definition of a town renewal strategy. Under the Town and Village Renewal Scheme launched in 2016, Kildare County Council’s in-house team was successful in securing funding from the Department of Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs.

The Town Renewal Plan includes a masterplan and an implementation strategy with several projects designed and ready to be brought forward when funding streams become available. KCC are becoming a stronger stakeholder and participant in the development process and this plan is about demonstrating how the council will do that.
