Short term rental accommodation: Models, impacts and policy responses
Trade-offs between sustainability and viability: Analysing the implementation of compact housing policies in Ireland's apartment development process
Starting again: National spatial planning and the quest for compact growth in Ireland
In 2002, the Irish Government launched the National Spatial Strategy, aimed at achieving effective national spatial planning. A lack of political support and the primacy of localism in planning and development led to its demise in 2014. However, in 2018, the government launched the new National Planning Framework, which had compact growth at its core. It is supported politically by central government, is backed by legislation and must be adhered …
Understanding the emergency accommodation use patterns of homeless families
This paper examines homeless families' shelter stay records to better understand their patterns of service use and how they exit, or remain, within emergency accommodation. Little is known of how homeless families' stay patterns vary from the general homeless population, or how such variation might be explained by structural or individual factors. The paper utilises a cluster analysis of homeless families stay records from 2012 to 2016 in Dublin,…
Placing Heritage in Entrepreneurial Urbanism: Planning, Conservation and Crisis in Ireland
Ireland is beginning to emerge from an extended period of austerity following the global economic collapse of 2008. In this time, private sector investment in historic urban cores all but halted, and state funding for heritage was dramatically cut. However, both the state and civil society have placed a new emphasis on the potential of built heritage to act as a driver of economic recovery, reflected in both local and national policies and strate…
Planning for historic urban environments under austerity conditions: Insights from post-crash Ireland
In this paper, we examine how conservation-planning and local regeneration in historic urban cores have been re-shaped under austerity conditions and how local planners and local government more generally have negotiated or navigated this emerging austerity terrain. We seek to contribute to wider debates on 'austerity urbanism', by examining the impacts of austerity on local planning and how planning officials have attempted to moderate austerity…
Emergency homeless shelter use in the Dublin region 2012–2016: Utilizing a cluster analysis of administrative data
We’re just existing, not living!” Mortgage stress and the concealed costs of coping with crisis
Following the financial crisis, an extensive literature has examined the vulnerabilities facing mortgagors in default and foreclosure. However, in addition to these “overt casualties” of the crash, many households are struggling to meet their mortgage payments by enduring severe cutbacks to their quality of life. The experiences of these “unrevealed casualties” of the financial crisis and the coping strategies they employ to respond to mortgage s…
Stress in Suburbia: Counting the Costs of Ireland's Property Crash and Mortgage Arrears Crisis
Following the 2008 financial crisis, an extensive geographic literature has examined mortgage market financialisation and its socio‐spatial impacts, particularly patterns of mortgage defaults and foreclosures in US cities. However, the local geographic impacts remain under‐examined in European contexts, including Ireland, limiting the ability to accurately identify the casualties of the crisis and understand the manner in which they are affected.…
Competing discourses of built heritage: Lay values in Irish conservation planning
Built heritage conservation has traditionally been shaped by professionals through an ‘authorised heritage discourse’, emphasising expert knowledge and skills, universal value, a hierarchy of significance, and protecting the authenticity of tangible assets. However, while the purpose of built heritage conservation is widely recognised to be broad, encompassing cultural, social and economic benefits, it takes place in the presence, and on behalf, …
Location Decision Making of “Creative” Industries: The Media and Computer Game Sectors in D ublin, I reland
There has been significant research undertaken examining the “creative class” thesis within the context of the locational preferences of creative workers. However, relatively little attention has been given to the locational preferences of creative companies within the same context. This paper reports on research conducted to qualitatively analyse the location decision making of companies in two creative sectors: media and computer games. We addr…
The Extent of the Mortgage Crisis in Ireland and Policy Responses
From the mid-1990s, Ireland experienced a property bubble, fuelled by deregulation in the banking sector and government commitment to expanding home ownership. However, since 2007, the situation has dramatically reversed. The banking system and property market have collapsed and pushed the Irish state into insolvency. National house prices have fallen by 50 per cent from the peak in 2007, whereas incomes have contracted and the unemployment rate …
Residential preferences of the ‘creative class’
Active Citizenship and Local Representational Politics in Twenty-First Century Ireland: The Role of Residents Groups within Dublin's Planning Arena
This paper explores the relationship between active citizenship at a local level and the workings of local government, focusing on urban planning processes in the Greater Dublin Area, Ireland. The paper argues that to fully understand the role of community actors within urban planning, there is a need to look beyond the institutions of planning and formal avenues of decision-making to examine the overlapping, disorganized and informal practices t…
Le logement social en Europe au début du xxie siècle: La révision générale
Le logement offre une excellente illustration de la difficulté à définir et à promouvoir un « modèle social européen ». Cet ouvrage, issu des travaux d'un atelier du GIS Réseau socioéconomie de l'habitat, est consacré à l'analyse des transformations du logement social dans l'Union européenne au cours des trois dernières décennies. Centré sur les pays d'Europe de l'Ouest qui furent à son origine : Angleterre, Allemagne, Autriche, Danemark, France,…
Examining the role of 'creative class' ideas in urban and economic policy formation: The case of Dublin, Ireland
Throughout the last decade the 'creative class' thesis has received significant attention within academic and policymaking circles. This paper analyses the role of the 'creative class' thesis within recent urban and economic policy formation in Dublin. In methodological terms, the study uses in-depth analysis of recent policy documents which is supplemented by interviews with key stakeholders involved in the formulation and implementation of poli…
Sustainability versus liveability: An investigation of neighbourhood satisfaction
Recent years have witnessed an increasing emphasis placed on planning systems in most advanced capitalist societies to develop a more sustainable urban development pattern, resulting in policies to increase residential densities. Although belief in the virtues of the compact city approach is now widespread among the policy community, questions remain relating to the ‘sustainability versus liveability’ implications of compact city environments. In…
The role of ‘hard’ and ‘soft’ factors for accommodating creative knowledge: Insights from Dublin's ‘creative class’
The idea of the creative knowledge city has received considerable attention in the last number of years, not only in the academic literature but also from urban policymakers. Much of the attention has centred on the ‘creative class’ thesis and its relevance for regional economic growth. By taking the thesis at face value, this paper empirically analyses the extent to which Dublin's creative knowledge workers conform or otherwise to the characteri…
An examination of residential preferences for less sustainable housing: Exploring future mobility among Dublin central city residents
Active citizenship, civil society and managing spatial change in the rural–urban fringe
This article explores the nature of the relationship between residents' associations and the local state through a detailed empirical examination of the activities of residents' associations within the rural–urban fringe, focusing on a case study of rural communities in close proximity to the Republic of Ireland's capital city, Dublin. This article argues that attempts to influence policy outcomes are undermined by powerful developer and landowni…
Policy Review Section
In this issue of the Policy Review Section, Andrew Church and Peter Reid, of Birkbeck College, University of London, explore the growing phenomenon of cross-border collaboration between local and regional authorities. Based upon case studies drawn from areas bordering the English Channel, they consider both theoretical and policy implications of this new form of regional development activity. In the second article Brian Ashcroft, Stewart Dunlop a…
