Archiseek / Ireland / News / 1999 / August 02 1999: RIAI advises higher density housing for Dublin

Higher density housing is essential if Dublin is to develop as a sustainable city where people can enjoy a lively and pleasant urban lifestyle in the new millennium, according to the Royal Institute of the Architects of Ireland.

In a report published yesterday, the RIAI recommended a partial restoration of tax relief for investors in rented housing - abolished after last year's Bacon Report on house prices - but only in designated areas along high-quality public transport routes.

The report, complied by Dr Eugene Gribben, architect and planner, said "the key to developing a higher density, better-designed and more sustainable city lies in the link between land use and transportation".
