Dublin City Council has launched plans for a €450 million new town scheme to rejuvenate one of the capital's most deprived areas, Cherry Orchard. The plan to develop a town over the next five years on a 25-acre derelict site alongside the M50 is one of the most ambitious urban regeneration projects undertaken in Ireland. There will be 1,723 residential units in the scheme, one third of which will be social and affordable homes. Another 550 affordable homes will be built on a series of open spaces in Cherry Orchard, which have become notorious black spots in terms of anti-social behaviour.
