 | | The city of Cork, situated on the south west coast of Ireland, is the second largest city in the Republic of Ireland, and is the commercial, industrial, cultural and educational capital of southern Ireland. |
 | | Corks historic centre is at the "cross-roads" of the two main development spines that stretch across the city: the north/south spine where local economic activity can bring socio-economic development, and the east/west spine, which has the potential to be developed as a tourist axe within the city. |
 | | Cork Corporation has calculated that over IRE £25 million (around ECU 32 million) are currently being invested in the target area (projects under construction or already completed), stimulated by redevelopment under the UPP. |
