Description

Explore the history of Dublin's urban development with this detailed architectural study. Published by Routledge, this book provides an overview of the mass-housing boom that transformed the city between 1935 and 1975. It examines the period when Dublin Corporation constructed tens of thousands of two-storey houses, creating entire communities from green fields and virgin sites at the city's edge. Author Ellen Rowley investigates the reasons behind this massive building endeavor. The text looks at the development of four-storey flat blocks in the city center alongside suburban expansion. By drawing on national political and social histories, as well as international architectural histories, the book addresses themes of architectural and urban obsolescence. This work is an essential resource for those interested in how social and political factors shape the built environment and the evolution of modern cities.
