The projected population of 85,000 by 2070 will be expected to walk, cycle or use public transport.
A major new west Dublin town with a population greater than Galway city will be virtually car-free under plans published by Dublin City Council and South Dublin County Council.
The City Edge project, which envisages the transformation of 700 hectares of industrial land along the Naas Road with 40,000 new homes, will be built to a “zero-parking” standard.
It will ultimately be a car-free development, according to the local authorities’ framework plan published..
The projected population of 85,000 by 2070 will be expected to walk, cycle or use public transport.
Apartment blocks, will not be built with underground car parks, which was previously a requirement of many apartment schemes.
The authorities said, this would reduce construction costs and should result in more affordable homes.
Some 3,500 homes are expected to be completed by 2030.
As an interim measure pending the opening of new public transport links, multistorey car parks or “collective parking units” will be built which will later be converted to other uses.
