2ha: the journal of suburban design #12

2ha #12 considers the power of local, national, and international governance in determining suburban morphology. Three essays focus on the multiple means by which bureaucratic structures and political ideologies control the ways, rules, and regulations in which suburban development takes place.

2ha #12 considers the power of local, national, and international governance in determining suburban morphology. Three essays focus on the multiple means by which bureaucratic structures and political ideologies control the ways, rules, and regulations in which suburban development takes place. Ciarán Wallace documents the history of Dublin's early suburban communities, and how these administratively, politically, and financially autonomous townships negotiated local government reform, the practicalities of infrastructure and service provision, and the minefield of national politics. Seán O'Leary recounts the story behind Ireland's 20th-century New Towns – Ballymun, Tallaght, and Shannon – and highlights the role played by financial circumstance, political expediency, and administrative inexperience in shaping their prospective futures. Roger Keil and Pierre Hamel position the topic of suburban governance in a global context, outlining the diverse modes of control, discussing the various scales of organisation, and considering the impact of these jurisdictional typologies internationally.

2ha #15 considers sprawl: how to define and find it, how to evaluate its impacts, and how to respond, as urban designers, to the spatial conditions that sprawl engenders. In part one, a rationale is offered as to why sprawl requires greater attention and research in urban design. In part two, the question of how to design in sprawl is discussed. In part three, a compilation of projects which propose new design strategies are put forward in the context of sprawl's potential future transformation. 2ha #15 includes work undertaken as part of the module ‘Urban Design Studio’ (ARCT40690), within the Masters in Urban Design and Planning programme at the School of Architecture, Planning and Environmental Policy, UCD.

2ha #09 considers the role of leisure practices in forming the spatial order of suburban landscapes. Four essays detail the social codes, individual desires, and official policies that determine the structure of free time. Aoibheann Ní Mhearáin looks at the position of green space - from front lawns to football pitches - in the formation of a uniquely suburban society. Geraldine Biddle Perry recounts the origins of cycling and outdoor culture at the turn of the century, and describes its influence in shaping the emerging masses of suburbia. Janina Gosseye discusses the link between suburbia, modernism, and leisure in the invention of the 20th-century shopping centre, and how it shaped the planning and design of this period. Suvi Talja identifies the changing fortunes of Dublin's Corporation swimming pools, from the politics of their establishment to their proliferation as new generators of suburban civic life.
