About the Book

In Modern Dublin, Erika Hanna delves into the complex and often controversial process of urban modernization that took place between 1957 and 1973. During this critical era, the city saw a monumental shift as centuries-old Georgian architecture faced destruction to make way for modern office blocks, new housing developments, and modernized infrastructure. This dramatic physical transformation sparked widespread debates about national identity, heritage preservation, and the true meaning of progress. By masterfully drawing upon previously untapped archival sources, Hanna brings to life the diverse cast of characters—from ambitious government planners and property developers to passionate grassroots activists and preservationists—who fought fiercely to shape the city’s future. Modern Dublin goes beyond simple architectural history; it uses the very streets of the capital as a lens to examine the shifting values and deep-seated cultural politics of a rapidly modernizing nation. This compelling narrative is essential reading for anyone interested in European history, urban planning, or the ongoing evolution of historic cities.
