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.
