Re: Re: High Rise Building

I’d agree with Joe.

High rises should not be alowed stray in to or near the city core, clear lines of division should be drawn.

By all means, allow quality high density development at the various proposed public transport nodes but this business of random high rises protruding from obscure locations, paying no deference to the established city, is nonsense.

Does nobody in DCC contemplate the wider aesthetics of the city, the fact that the city itself is part of an overall vista, ensconsed in a bowl like depression, on full view from most of the surrounding suburbs.

Look up & down the river DCC, stand on the fifteen acres, drive in on the N4 or N11, take a stroll down the Clontarf road. I was looking for something a little more considered than here’s a train station, here’s a high rise.
