New cards
Pop. (2022 Census)
over 2 million, making Dublin a Primate City
pop. unevenly distributed across region

New cards
pop. distribution VS density
Pop. distribution = spread across a geographical area
Population Density = no. of people per km²
density varies - highly dense in Dublin City area - low in Wicklow mts = uneven distribution
Population Density = no. of people per km²
density varies - highly dense in Dublin City area - low in Wicklow mts = uneven distribution

New cards
pop increase from 2016-2022
increased by 168,000
mostly in Dublin, little growth in Wicklow = uneven distribution

New cards
Pop. density in Dublin City
4,588 people per km²
good weather (driest county) + terrain
development of apartment blocks that use small ground space

New cards
wicklow density
70 per km²
mountainous terrain + weather (relief rain + colder winter temps)
isolated detached housing
mountainous terrain + weather (relief rain + colder winter temps)
isolated detached housing
6
New cards
how is pop. density in Dublin impacted by relief
mts to south means sprawl west
Howth + Dalkey = lower pop. density due to high ground isolated settlements
higher value detached houses on large areas of land
Howth + Dalkey = lower pop. density due to high ground isolated settlements
higher value detached houses on large areas of land
7
New cards
Bull island
large sandspit with sparse distribution of pop. as access limited + ground unsuitable for large development = recreational area
8
New cards
pop. distribution historically
2 settlements along Liffey - Dubh Linn (South) + Ath Cliath (North)
formed crossing point which developed as a nodal point
Many historical buildings in city = height restriction denying development of apartment blocks in city centre

9
New cards
what has limited development north of the city
airport - no high rise in immediate vicinity
10
New cards
no development N/S/E means…
Urban sprawl into Kildare + Meath = growing pop. + influx of workers to region
pattern of pop. distribution outside M50 has coincided with major routeways. Eg. M7 in Kildare = development of Naas

11
New cards
example of an urban centre which has developed along a routeway
Maynooth along M4
Easy to commute to Dublin for work, affordable housing, major University

New cards
EU enlargement + population
since 2004 = multiculturalism EG. national synagogue in Terenure, 2 Islamic Mosques
Immigration = increase birth rates by migrants with trad high marriage + birth rates
Immigration = increase birth rates by migrants with trad high marriage + birth rates
13
New cards
Regeneration of inner city areas
dense pop. in cultural zones inc. Parnell Street = Asian Cuisine centre
high pop … fear of ghettoisation of immigrants in lower-cost housing = social issues (particularly in Western Dublin Suburbs such Mulhuddart)
