Review of National Planning Framework and Climate Targets: Discussion
Steven Matthews (Wicklow, Green Party) | Oireachtas source
To me, compact growth is about densification, but not just that; it is also about having access to transport and services and there being walkability, permeability and good public places, which encompasses the 15-minute city and ten-minute town concepts. Is there enough guidance out there for planners, architects, designers, urban planners, etc. to be able to create good compact growth, or is it too dispersed, with a separation between transport, green spaces, which are done through the urban regeneration and development fund, and the development done by the planners? Is there enough linkage between these aspects?
