Abstract:
This paper reviews the development of Tallaght, one of three new towns developed to
the west of Dublin. II explores the new-town planning and development process,
drawing comparisons between the manner in which the post-war new-towns
development programme was undertaken in the United Kingdom. It highlights in
particular the limited degree of control over the character and phasing of development
which derived from an overwhelming reliance upon the private sector through
promoting and facilitating development rather than its being actively undertaken by the
public sector itself.
