Spatial aspects of housing in Ireland: municipal developments 1930-2000

This is the first of two papers that set out to trace the development of suburban housing in Ireland during the twentieth century. This paper focuses on the form of municipal housing between 1930 and the end of the millennium, particularly in regard to layout and spatial quality. The research material for the study has been drawn from a range of sources including published works, Ordnance Survey maps and on-site fieldwork.
