According to reports the EU’s environmental body is using Dublin as an example of what not to do when it comes to urban planning. Apparently Dublin’s urban sprawl is a “worst-case scenario” in city planning. Plus it reportedly says that “extremely passive” planning policies have also led to undesirable urban sprawl in towns and villages throughout Ireland.
Hold on for a minute … planning? What planning?? Very poor research on behalf of the EU’s environmental body thinking that we actually plan anything here … guffaw snort chortle … gobshites!
p.s. I still get a laugh out of this. [from Gerry O'Sullivan's blog]
Im sure Dublin as a whole, or hole, could be used as an example by other cities of how not to do things in general. How not to build a light-rail system. How not to run a public transport system… etc etc
True, you could make quite a list of how-not-to’s and apply it Dublin … and probably a number of other Irish towns too.
