I love to travel because I love to learn first hand about other places work, so when I saw that my work trade association, International Downtown Association, was gathering BID professionals for a study tour of Ireland and Northern Ireland, I signed up right away. The trip included visits to Dublin, Dundalk and Belfast, where we spoke to BID and community leaders and urban planners about projects they were working on. Along the way my peers and sat down in sessions to discuss the challenges facing cities and societies. It was so interesting to hear other perspectives and other possible responses and to dig deep into other cities and see first hand what they are doing. I have been to Ireland twice before, but this trip I saw it completely differently.
First stop Dublin.
