Presentation from South Dublin County Council on the Economic Development and City Edge

Presentations from: Jason Frehill, Director of Economic, Enterprise & Tourism Development and Siobhán Duff, City Edge 

Hear how the South Dublin County Economic Development sets out the framework to guide future development with the focus placed on the places we live, the places we work, and how we interact and move between these places while protecting our environment. The aim is to progress to a more sustainable development pattern for South Dublin in the immediate and long-term future up to 2040 and beyond.

The City Edge represents the most significant housing and economic opportunity ever undertaken in the Dublin Region and has the potential to be one of the largest and most transformational regeneration projects in Europe. Covering an area of approx. 700 hectares and strategically positioned in the Naas Road, Ballymount and Park West areas at the western edge of Dublin City, the area is identified under the National Planning Framework (NPF) and Regional Spatial and Economics Strategy (RSES) as a part of Dublin that is currently underutilised and has the potential to achieve compact growth through a major increase in population and employment.
