Serving the entire city region
Fingal alone - With a population growth from 196,000 in 1996
to an estimated 263,000 in 2011
Suffers physical constraints for high-volume access to the city;Provides the most suitable location for sustainable development close to city and at the “doorstep” of Ireland in the Airport.

Serving the entire city region
Dublin City Region- Must have the capacity to deal with its own
economic development – e.g. 3rd level student numbers are expected to more than double by 2020.
This low-density city has the sole option of the poly-centric connected city as the model to sustain its growth and economic capacity to sustain its role as the economic engine of the country.

Strategic Planning
• Ongoing now for over 10 years, forming the baseline for economic strategies;– (Platform for Change from the DTO was published
in 2001)• Integrated Land-use and Transport is the only
model that is sustainable;• As a nation we cannot afford to abandon
strategically thought-out plans – the days of ad-hoc planning must be brought to an end.
