As part of Dublin Culture Night, the walking tour offered participants an opportunity to discover Ringsend beyond its familiar streets, uncovering stories that reflect the area’s social, economic and industrial evolution.

Guided by local knowledge and historical perspectives, participants explored how the community and its businesses have developed over time, while reflecting on the changing role of energy and industry in shaping the area.

The event also created an opportunity to connect past and present, highlighting how local experiences and community histories can contribute to wider conversations about energy transitions and the future of urban areas.

Through activities that bring communities into the conversation, REGEN highlights the importance of understanding local contexts and perspectives when exploring more sustainable futures.
