Celtic Tiger and Entrepreneurial Planning.

During the 1990s the so called ‘Celtic Tiger’ Irish economy grew at an average annual rate of 7.5%, more than three times the European average at the time (Murphy, 2000).
![Page 8: Planning for a Post Celtic Tiger Urban Landscape](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052905/558447c3d8b42afc4e8b48d9/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Irish Planning became increasingly infused with the ethos of entrepreneurialism ;

A new focus on Ireland’s cities brought about a wave of market led regeneration efforts, encouraged by an availability of cheap credit, tax incentives and a climate which encouraged the creation of numerous public private partnerships (PPP’s).
![Page 10: Planning for a Post Celtic Tiger Urban Landscape](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052905/558447c3d8b42afc4e8b48d9/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The Irish economic model as ‘predicated on constant growth to function’ and this focus spilled over into planning practice.
While Ireland’s recession mirrors what is going on in most European states and further afield, the particular causes of the Irish economic crisis were decidedly local in origin as the Irish economy had become unsustainably dependent on the construction industry (and house building specifically).

Indeed it has been argued that the goal of Ireland’s loose regulatory system was to ‘encourage the market rather than restrain it’(Kirby, 2009: 9).

Towards more adaptive and resilient spatial planning? The scale of the current global economic crisis has undermined and raised questions about some of the core assumptions that dominated urban policy thinking in many global cities in the 1990s and 2000s (Raco, 2011).
“As well as a catastrophic failure in Ireland’s banking and financial regulatory system, there has been a catastrophic failure of the
planning system” (NIRSA, 2010: 2)
‘Is this the end of spatial planning in Ireland?’ (Kitchin, 2013)

Seeking to Recover rather than Reform?
Thus far, the Irish response to the crisis—like that of many other nations—has been described as reacting rather than acting. It is critical that current circumstances do not combine to promote a tendency to short termism and a predomination of non strategic thinking and action.
Strategic Spatial Planning is crucial in moving forward

‘If a city is struck by disaster it follows that the original state was one in which it was vulnerable to disaster in the first place’ (Klein et al, 2003)
