Mary St, Douglas St, & White St
As part of Cork City Council’s non-statutory public consultation for the proposed public realm enhancement scheme, I designed and developed a full suite of public-facing communication materials to support community engagement and feedback gathering.
This included eight detailed A1 information boards, business and resident flyers, a pull-up banner, and a questionnaire, all designed to clearly communicate complex urban design proposals in an approachable and visually cohesive way.
The project required balancing technical clarity with accessible design, ensuring residents, businesses, and stakeholders could easily understand the proposed changes and meaningfully contribute to the consultation process. The feedback gathered through this phase helped inform the evolution of the wider scheme.
Flipbook
Following the initial consultation materials, I developed a digital flipbook version of the scheme information to allow for easy online viewing and wider public accessibility.
The content was structured to clearly guide viewers through project background, community feedback, traffic studies, parking analysis, demographics, and proposed public spaces, creating a more intuitive and engaging way to explore the consultation materials beyond the physical exhibition.
This digital format helped extend the reach of the consultation and made the information easier to navigate for residents unable to attend in person.
Business Flyers
A dedicated set of business-facing flyers was developed to communicate the project in a way that responded specifically to the concerns and priorities of local businesses.
These materials focused on access, timelines, economic impact, and public space improvements, helping build confidence and encourage participation from commercial stakeholders within the area.
Alongside the business communications, I created resident-focused flyers that simplified key project information into an easy-to-read format.
The emphasis was on clarity, accessibility, and trust-building, ensuring local residents understood the purpose of the proposed enhancements and how to provide meaningful feedback.
Resident Flyers
A1/Poster Timeline & Questionnaire
A series of large-format timeline boards was designed to clearly communicate the project’s phasing, milestones, and consultation timeline.
These boards translated technical planning stages into an accessible visual narrative, helping the public understand how the project would progress from consultation through delivery.
I designed the consultation questionnaire and feedback materials, ensuring the questions aligned visually and structurally with the wider communication system.
The layout was developed to encourage participation, making it easy for residents and businesses to provide structured responses that could be clearly reviewed and incorporated into the design development process.
Public Consultation at Nano Nagles
The materials were presented during the public consultation events at Nano Nagle Place, where they supported in-person engagement with residents, businesses, and community stakeholders.
This phase was key in transforming technical urban design proposals into a conversation-led public process, helping shape the future direction of the scheme through community feedback.
