Synopsis
This book is the first of a mini-series on the development of Dublin from the earliest times. From both geographical and historical perspectives, it tries to unravel and explain the many processes that have interacted to produce the city as we know it today. The book begins with the early city, piecing together research from geography (especially evidence from maps, the quintessential geographical tool), archaeology and history. As the architecture of the period shows so vividly, Dublin flowered in the eighteenth century; the following sections look at how this was achieved and by whom; much information is analysed and mapped for the first time and a wealth of fascinating detail is revealed. The nineteenth century was a tale of two cities: the better off moved to suburbs beyond the canals, leaving social problems behind in the inner city. It was not all gloom. For the better off, Dublin was a bright and vibrant city. The final two sections of the book offer a reconstruction of Dublin at the beginning of the twentieth century, looking at how it might have been seen and experienced by the people of the day. Lavishly illustrated with maps, diagrams and photographs.

Product Description
This is the first volume in a short series that will deal with the planning and development of Dublin from the earliest times to the present day. The focus is on the built environment and from both geographical and historical perspectives aims to unravel and explain the processes that have interacted to produce today's city. It begins with a discussion of Dublin's early development, emphasizing the value of maps in understanding how the city grew. There follows a detailed examination of the city's flowering in the eighteenth century, and their inter-relationships. This leads into a discussion of the problems of the nineteenth century city. This volume concludes with a reconstruction of Dublin at the beginning of the twentieth century, looking at how it might have been seen and experienced by the people of the day.
