Narrator: When it comes to deciding how our city should develop, every citizen's opinion is important.
(Fade to a montage of interior and exterior scenes featuring the Dublin City Council offices.)
Narrator: In preparing the draft plan, the Council has already received views from communities, councillors and special interest groups through written submissions, meetings and online discussions. That feedback was reviewed and has helped shape this draft, with its vision of a Sustainable Dublin in 2030. Now we're inviting you to discuss and comment on the vision, the priorities and objectives of the plan. Submissions or observations are being accepted until Friday, the 12th March. You'll find print copies in your local library, or you can get your own copy by contacting Dublin City Council's Civic Offices in Wood Quay.

Narrator: You can read summaries of the plan on the website www.dublincitydevelopmentplan.ie. Here you can also join in online discussions and for the first time provide a written submission using our online form.

Narrator: In 2010, Dublin City is moving forward, making progress towards a smart economy and a new, sustainable future. By having your say now, you can help shape that future, and plan a better city; better for him, better for her, better for them, and better for you.

The draft Development Plan outlines a vision for the future of Dublin. That vision is of a sustainable, low-carbon emission city that offers an attractive, diverse quality of life to all its residents.
We're now looking for your opinions and feedback on the draft Plan. What works and what doesn't? What would you like to see more or less of? What specific areas are you interested in?
The citizens of Dublin are the city's most valuable asset. Their opinion and participation in the future planning of the city is vital to its success. It's your city; we encourage you to have your say.
There are two ways in which you can engage in the discussion:
