The tram lines ripened up, the railways abandoned, and the motorcar anointed. I hope I live to see the day the motorcar is once again, a rare sight in our fair city.
Too Many Cars in Dublin City? Ireland 1969 1837PM 1.10.24 where i grew up the housing estate streets had about 5 garages to house cars. the streets weren't made for cars up there... this is evinced when i have a wander back and see masses of cars clogging up once free and easy byways... the streets used to be full of kids now they're full of cars... is that a reference to life choices wherein a man and his wife would rather own two cars and two home than spawn a bunch of progs?
There are 634,600 in the Belfast Metropolitan Area, or approximately one third of Northern Ireland's 1.9 million population. The population of the Greater Dublin Area is 2.1 million, or approximately 40.5% of the total population of Ireland and estimates published by the Central Statistics Office suggest that the population will reach 2.4 million by 2026.
Greater dublin area is very overblown, it includes the entire counties of meath, kildare, wicklow and dublin, clearly not all Dublin, real dublin population is more like 1.2 million and belfast is more like 350,000
@@horatiotodd8723 not really, it’s surrounded by rural communities, and the Belfast Metropolitan Area includes two counties, counties are an English invention, however the video itself talks about the problems of planning. So yes at the broader end of definitions, the Dublin Transport Authority Act 2008 defines the Greater Dublin Area as including the counties of Dublin (Dublin City, South Dublin, Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown and Fingal), Meath, Kildare, and Wicklow. And the 2003 Regional Planning Guidelines referred to the Greater Dublin Area as a planning district separated into a "metropolitan area" and a "hinterland area".

Glad Dublin never got a flyover, but the country been ruined by too many motorways for oversized cars and the m/ways weren't built for us.. Ireland for the Irish.
