Is there any example of this kind of development, the conversion/removal of housing estates, elsewhere – in the UK or Europe?
Surely something along these lines has been attempted somewhere to offer us some indication as to how this problem may be dealt with.

happening in the Netherlands at the moment in areas within 10 mins of a train station, but it is apts replacing already high density duplex developments. I can definitely see the day coming though when the semi-D is an exotic species. The english are very focused on developing what they call ‘marginal open space’ in urban areas and god knows there’s a lots of that in Dublin.
