| Investment
in infrastructure to 2030 will be concentrated on the building
of new motorways, a fact that reflects and reinforces our car-dependent
culture. This concentration on personal freedom supports the
other national obsession—owning ‘a house on a piece
of land’. Together these aspirations have generated unsustainable
housing patterns—one-offs, ribbon development and suburban
clusters that are now characteristic of the Irish landscape.
A reevaluation of the land, moving away from cash-crop housing
towards an evolving productive landscape, makes possible the
sustainable interdependence of a repopulated rural hinterland
and the road network that connects Ireland’s urban centres.
