The most comprehensive book on Irish cities to-date, Irish Cities in Crisis spans 678 pages of content by 29 contributors as well as an appendix of case studies, including projects in successful European cities.

The book calls for a radical change in how we finance, govern and plan Irish cities. It argues that cities must be recognised as engines of our social, economic and cultural lives and must be treated with imagination and care. Contributors are leading thinkers in the built environment and collectively, they call for a mindset shift in how we plan and develop our cities, arguing that this is essential in ensuring our cities thrive.
