Stessa strada, a 6 anni di distanza. Per contesto, ognuno di questi edifici è paragonabile agli sviluppi più alti in Irlanda. Sviluppo rapido, uso efficiente del territorio.
Modifica quante persone lo chiedono, questo è Smugglers Way, Wandsworth, South London.

We got little shit boxes instead in Dublin. All plans for substantially tall buildings got blocked by abp and dcc.
Barely a tree left standing.
Look at Manchester as an example of an upwardly mobile city. Incredible, not everyone likes it obviously but it’s where the money is now outside London.
How does this relate to Ireland? Aside from using a vague reference to Dublin for scale.
Stunning architecture. Timeless even. A concrete paradise.
2019 was better.
Where is this in London? Which street?
Wow the state of that place. Concrete everywhere. Buildings right beside each other. What a horrible place to live.
What street is this?
Go to Castleforbes/Marshall Yards or The Glass Bottle Site and you can find the equivalent here. Lots of high density stuff is being built.
Look at Leidsche Rijn in Utrecht in the Netherlands for an example of rapid medium to high density building, but also good development. An excellent bus network with some dedicated roads for busses. Excellent cycling infrastructure with a dedicated cycling bridge into the city centre. Green spaces. Shopping and facilities. Motorway access, because the real world involves vehicles. 95,000 people housed within a 15 minute bus journey of the city centre, within 20 or so years of construction starting. Real planning, and not this piecemeal infinite low-density sprawl BS we do here with all the traffic problems that go with that.
Some Irish people are strange. Yeah we desperately need houses, but we can also do it in a way that our cities and towns are not turned into dystopian shitholes
There are parts of Dublin where this is happening too – e.g. Sheriff Street and East Wall have been completely transformed since I moved here in 2020
Britain builds less housing per capita than Ireland.
Fair play to that one tree. Survivor

New Wapping Street – 2018
I absolutely agree with this about the failure of the Irish state (both central and local government) to actually address property development and even the height of buildings in our cities.
The real problem is that the work to plan this development in UK probably started years before it was the earlier photo was taken.
There is a LOT of resistance to building up in Ireland from politicians, officials, voters and even architects.
Flats went up about the same amount as the price of diesel.
I wish they build here that fast
To be fair you’d see similar in Adamstown or CityWest in Dublin if you compared 2019 to 2025. Not quite as tall buildings but London is 10 times the size of Dublin
