Ireland - Spatial & Economic Plan for Dún Laoghaire Town

Description

Dún Laoghaire is a suburban coastal town in County Dublin, Ireland, about 12 km south of Dublin city centre and is the county town of Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown. The town has a mix of residential, retail and office space and enjoys valuable seafront access at Dún Laoghaire Harbour.
In recent times, development in the town has been largely focused on increasing residential capacity with a consequential decrease in the amount of small-scale commercial office floor space available for employment uses locally and a reduction in the overall number of jobs located within the town.
The Urban Regeneration and Development Fund, part of the Irish Government’s Project 2040, provided an opportunity for Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council through a Category B application to carry out a study of the economic profile of the town, examine the changing nature of office-based development, make recommendations in relation to future potential economic opportunities and identify infrastructure deficits that exist in the town. (A full set of guidelines and criteria for the URDF Fund Category A and B can be accessed here https://www.housing.gov.ie/urdf).
Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council now invites tenders for expert economic, spatial and strategic advice for the Town.
