Ireland is now an urban society, and both parts of the island have
experienced rapid urban-generated growth and new patterns of
development in recent years. This inter-disciplinary book adopts an
all-Ireland perspective to investigate the tension that exists
between sustainable urban development values and rhetoric - such as
increased densities, brown field development, the compact city and
social inclusion - and the emerging geography of urban Ireland,
influenced by consumer and lifestyle choices. The introduction
provides an overview of the dynamics of urban change, particularly
during the 1990s, and the experience of rapid economic growth. The
following chapters are divided into two parts, considering
sustainable urban environments, and sustainable communities. This
book will appeal to students, academics, policy and
decision-makers, given that it adopts both a qualitative and
quantitative approach, and introduces a range of new empirical
studies covering both physical and social sustainable development.
