Changing Approaches to Urban Planning in an 'Entrepreneurial City': The Case of Dublin
Year: 2001
Type: article
Abstract: The paper reviews the manner in which urban planning in Dublin has changed in response to central government urban renewal initiatives and an increasing ethos of entrepreneurialism within the local authority of Dublin Corporation.The paper outlines the marginalisation of local planning functions and the undermining of planning powers through the establishment of special purpose renewal agencies.Dublin Corporation planners have consequently sought refuge in integrated micro-area planning, marking a shift in philosophy regarding the appropriate role for planning in the context of entrepreneurial governance.The paper provides an empirical account of the relationship between changing approaches to urban renewal and the evolution of local planning practice, noting the challenges and opportunities for urban planning created by altered governance structures and approaches.
