hi
i just want to say that the high rise development proposed in the docklands are a joke !. averaging 2 storeys to 10 storys and an occasional tower that you could dissmiss ! A typical new regeneration of inner dublin built on the river you would think it would follow most cities with skyskrapers and high density in. what is wrong with planning certain areas of Dublin specially for a cluster of skyskrapers that we can be proud of!. i mean 120metres i am writing this some people are probaly scared shitless.A lot of people make exuses not to build high rise because of the georgian and other historic sites in dublin that is fine as it would be neglected but no one is planing to build a tower adjacent to merrion square or dublin castle !!!!!1, what is the problem with high rise , we are a nation of complainers and stubborn to change.
In the future we are going to have to look at skyskrapers unless you want to sprawl into laois or carlow! or maybe extend or public transport out there!!! think?
Hi ,
i am new to this website and i totallt agree with negative effect urban sprawl on the countryside has it is wastleful and a short term salution to a long term problem . there is no exuse for not having high -rise in Dublin . Almost every city of its size and smaller having skyskrapers ! and 15 /20 storeys height in dublin is laughable compared to average height of 100 metres built anywhere else. It a lot of public transport infastructure planned like metro and luas which are designed to carry people in high density areas not carrying a few dozen people every luas stop who live back to bck sprawling low density housing . one more point what is it with people phobia about high rise and why there are so many objections even though many are classed as medium height that have not much effect on surrounding lower buildings , will some boggers get a grip !
