Brilliant to see you doing this across the sea - we're working on building a big new town near London which will hopefully one day be home to 500, 000 people. It's honestly baffling that our regulatory framework makes this type of development more practical than simple infill builds and densification!

I love such high quality content coming from Ireland! Keep it up! :)

I’m from limerick and this is a really great idea! Limerick Junction is such a strange place, but turning it into a modern urban space would be very appealing to so many commuters. I think Limerick is always on the cusp so I leashing its great potential- but never actually manages to unleash it. Maybe the new Mayor system will help kickstart new ideas like this.

Amazing model and design work as always!

Looks beautiful! Traditional architecture is the way!

If there are going to be projects like this nationwide, I believe that nothing should be allowed to be built on abandoned railway lines so that they can be preserved for future restoration and thus, more TOD.

This is what they should have done in Dublin Docklands instead of ugly empty office buildings

As a civil engineering student, I love this

[SisterSunny]

an absolutely fascinating deep-dive video with amazing examples of potential best practice! bravo

When I travelled to Limerick I thought that Limerick Junction would have plenty of shops outside for a quick snack since so many train lines make a stop there. It's literally in the middle of nowhere. A very good candidate for developing the ground around it.

Like the variation in architecture between neighbouring houses look organic. Also, good to acknowledge the need for training future Tipp hurlers

Love these videos, keep up the good work 👏🏾

Amazing work, love that you included beauty. And supported traditional architecture!!

I’m liking the progression of this series!

I question the value of restricting street-level spaces further away from the station from non-residential uses, rather than allowing them, & letting them be used as non-residential spaces even if for non-commercial purposes. Allowing them to be live-work units would be another way to diversify the street, economy & offerings. I’m also curious to understand some of the policies of Ireland that influence how well this area will live. I really appreciate the info about local vs National government, as an American. Please continue to explore & share these as it’s often different from our experience.

A great day when you upload! Please keep the vids coming!

One feature Ireland's pedestrian streets need is protection from the rain. Could be integrated well if planned from the beginning. You see this is cities like Malaga is Spain, but there they do it to block the sun in summer. Life in Ireland would be improved immeasurable if we put a roof over our urban areas once and for all.

Amazing video, there's a lot of urban planning channels out there but you've done it from a unique angle. Awesome stuff and really appreciate the design of the buildings. Roofs help aesthetics so much in comparison to flat roofs

Heartbreak to watch this as I know it would be amazing but its just a pipe dream.

Regards a person living in Ireland.

It's nice to see you included beauty in your vision. In Ireland it seems we only care about building modernist architecture nowadays rather than beautiful buildings.

This looks great! Well made and brilliant idea :)
