It examines the evolution of the urbanisation of Ireland, observing the similarities and contrasts between Irish urbanisation patterns and those observed in other EU countries. It examines the role of the market in allocating land to various usages within the urban setting. It further explores the spatial theories which assist us in understanding differing regional and national characteristics associated with the urbanisation of Ireland, Students will also be introduced to economic theory which explains pricing and allocation decisions within the property market.
