Life After Roundabouts

This blog has been set up as a forum for the discussion of town planning, urbanism and urban design issues in Ireland and further afield. Theres plenty of room in Ireland for an open forum for the discussion of urban development and the plethora of people and interests that this draws in. Fortunately, planning's track record in Ireland is not exactly perfect and so there is a lot to talk about. However, its one thing to sit back and point fingers, and its another to offer alternative solutions. And hopefully thats what this is about. Everything from the impact of climate change and environmental legislation, to urban regeneration, retail development and modernist architecture to the detailed design of streets is on the agenda.
