Ricorda che ci è stato detto 20 anni fa che questo è l’aspetto di Dublino 2025 e che gli sviluppatori stanno ancora lottando per avere una pianificazione per edifici oltre 15 piani. Ti piacerebbe vedere Dublino con edifici più alti?

Nah, see all of those tall buildings are each getting in the way of the other tall buildings.
Can’t be having it.
No way. Why would you want to add high density housing at a time of acute housing scarcity
Graphics are never gonna get any better than this
Ironically, McDowell would object to it.
I love the thousands of people living within smelling distance of the waste management infrastructure on Poolbeg.
No, I love all the derelict 2 storey buildings in the city centre. That’s what Dublin needs, not those nice tall buildings you see in other capitals.
Could’ve invested €2 billion into taller buildings / apartment housing instead of a hospital.
“We were told”… yeah, by the progressive democrats 😆
Every response so far is “no” and “no, lol”. Feck sake.
It should be done. There’s no need for Dublin’s port to be industrial. Industry should land at Waterford or something. Dublin is a bottleneck with traffic.
This would have been amazing
We weren’t told that this was what Dublin would like. It was a proposal or really just more a notion, to move Dublin port, and redevelop the land. A proposal that was shot down pretty much immediately and never progressed to even the beginning stage.
I have to say, as someone who lived in NA this sickens me. I lived in Vancouver and this is exactly what that city achieved. To the see the skyline of the city in the 80s vs now – one of the most iconic city skylines in the world, while maintaining a very “livable” city, focusing on transport links and parks. We had an opportunity to keep what historic buildings we had in the core, and the density there, while building a whole new city centre. Instead we have our major employers having to make compromises cause we can’t have anything over like 10 floors. Both sides of the docks are such a wasted opportunity. We have been shafted with conservatism, NIMBYISM, and self serving senior civil servants, politicians. If only we hired some Scandinavian/Dutch urban designers…
This also involves moving Dublin port out of there.
Thank God. I’m actually done with two story houses as well, we need to mass build bungalows in the city center. I need to see the spire.
No joke I thought this was a cities skylines screenshot
I remember this was the Progressive Democrats idea. We should have done it. Paris has La Defence. Its high rise, it looks great and it’s far enough away from the centre of Paris to be a distraction.
Thank goodness it didn’t happen or we’d have lost Dublins iconic skyline forever /s
Ironically the part they keep green and undeveloped in this visualisation looks like it might be around the Grand Canal Square, which was actually quite nicely developed.
Looking better.
Sorry to say, Dublin is one of the ugliest cities in Europe.
This was never a plan, it was mostly just an image to impress simpletons, which apparently it is still doing in 2025.
2025 is not over …there’s still a chance ..
😃
I’d love a city where first and foremost community and people were allowed to thrive. If we don’t value that and just focus on big shined buildings we will end up like London – and anyone that has been in the centre of that in the last decade will know it’s a place devoid of actual life after a certain hour. This is not an anti-development argument, it’s an argument for the right kind of development.
We were robbed of a gorgeous skyline. Old farts and their height restrictions. But no, we’ve a junkies needle instead that costs 1.5 million a year to clean.
Actually id prefer a secondary hub. Genuinely think we should build up athlone as an administrative capital. Keep Dublin as the main trade city but focus on moving strictly public service headquarters towards athlone and start using that as the focus for transportation routes. Dublin was the capital solely because we were under British rule and it was handier for them. Cork had the larger percentage of the population and a better natural harbour whereas athlone is near dead centre of the island. Imagine having athlone as the commuter target it would shave off so much time in the long run and have a much wider catchment area for talent that just prefer to stay where they grew up.
Crappy graphics aside, I don’t like it. They need to sort out the social problems, the drugs and family amenities. Start there before considering anything high rise or you’re just creating a new class A fueled ghetto of tenements.
High density works well for bachelor pads and so on without amenities but if you want to encourage families to choose them (rather than settle for them) over a regular 3 bed semi, you gotta do a LOT better.
Just because we’re in a housing crisis doesn’t mean people should be forced to live in substandard flats which they’ll grow to resent when there’s another recession and they’re stuck there and needing to trade up for more space.
