Abstract
International experience suggests that strategic spatial planning has
the potential to underpin the delivery of effective public services and
enhance the capacity for economic growth at national, regional and
subregional levels (Albrechts, 2010). Strategic spatial planning, over
the course of the past twenty years, has become increasingly central to
social and economic development in many European countries and
indeed the EU. Influenced by these developments, the publication of
the National Spatial Strategy for Ireland 2002-2020 (NSS) in 2002
provided a response to the growing imbalances in socio-economic
development that became increasingly evident during the Celtic tiger
period in the late 1990s. The strategy represented a departure from
conventional planning in Ireland by taking a more holistic perspective
of changing geographies of population, settlement patterns and the
distribution of employment opportunities. The implications of these
changes led to the proposition of a socio-economic planning model
that recognised the importance of the spatial dimension.
