Development And Preservation In Dublin
Dublin is one of the oldest capital cities in Europe – dating back over a thousand years. Over the centuries and particularly in the 18th century or Georgian era, it acquired a beautiful and distinctive style of architecture. However, since the 1960s, Dublin has been massively re-developed, sometimes at the cost of its architectural heritage. There have been repeated controversies about what is sometimes termed "cultural vandalism" – the destructive or insensitive development in the city.

Famous quotes containing the words development and/or preservation:
“For the child whose impulsiveness is indulged, who retains his primitive-discharge mechanisms, is not only an ill-behaved child but a child whose intellectual development is slowed down. No matter how well he is endowed intellectually, if direct action and immediate gratification are the guiding principles of his behavior, there will be less incentive to develop the higher mental processes, to reason, to employ the imagination creatively. . . .”
—Selma H. Fraiberg (20th century)
“The preservation of health is a duty. Few seem conscious that there is such a thing as physical morality.”
—Herbert Spencer (1820–1903)
