You know, kind of when we came in 2000 and, I think, '12, uh, Cork actually kind of recognized the important of the docklands development and the important to develop kind of, uh, an important public realm next to it.

So the Marina Park is part of the larger development of the city and larger development of the docklands, developing the green kind of lung of this development.

So Cork has established a, a international competition, and we've won it together with a multidisciplinary team of local engineers and heritage and ecologists.
R

And it took kind of, um, a process of, I think, this year we're kind of opening the last area of the park, so it took almost 15 years for this to happen.
R
6:00Rani IsharGUEST
So first, we kind of worked together with Cork to get the master plan of the park, and then devised a plan how to deliver it.
