This week, The Irish Times published Ireland’s Changing Suburbs, a series exploring our fast-growing new towns, changing older neighbourhoods and shrinking rural landscapes.
The series covered "the commodification of Crumlin”, the urbanisation of Glanmire, the densification of Dundrum, the “Dubification” of Navan and the challenges facing Balbriggan.
In some of those suburbs the under-provision of public transport remains stark, while residents report thinly stretched services and limited civic amenities. Meanwhile, many of those moving to the suburbs are planting roots. Schools, sports clubs and volunteer groups are filling with new arrivals.
We’d like to hear from readers living in other suburban areas around the country about similar issues where you live. How are things changing in your area and what would you like to see?
