The book explores the transformation of Dublin's landscape during the 1970s, highlighting the shift towards suburban development in areas like Tallaght and Clondalkin, which challenged the city center's dominance. As car culture rose, demands for larger roads increased, prompting a need for better urban management. By the late 1980s, dramatic changes revitalized the city center, addressing long-standing environmental issues like the Liffey's pollution. However, despite these advancements, challenges in public housing and city management persisted.
