The Canal Square and City Parade urban areas have received a nomination  in the current RIAI Annual Irish Architecture Award ( Public Choice Award section). The Parade, our  premier public space has become a firm favourite for visitors and citizens alike.   The wide car free pedestrianised public space forms a new link between the City centre and Kilkenny Castle. The provision of bicycle stands has encouraged the use of bicycles in the City.
