MESSAGE FROM THE TAOISEACH Ireland has experienced enormous change in its recent history. We have developed into a vibrant modern economy, with a growing, well-educated population; and we enjoy the fourth highest level of Gross Domestic Product per head in the European Union. But in common with many successful economies, Ireland’s development has also been marked by spatial imbalance. The Greater Dublin Area is facing problems of congestion, while a number of regions suffer from under-utilisation of their potential and resources. The Government determined when launching the National Development Plan in 1999 that more balanced regional development should be a priority for the country. This National Spatial Strategy, which has been assisted by wide public consultation, is our considered and systematic response to this commitment to promote balanced regional development. The National Spatial Strategy will bring • a better spread of job opportunities • a better quality of life for all, and • better places to live in. The National Spatial Strategy is a 20-year strategy designed to enable every place in the country to reach its potential, no matter what its size or location. It recognises that the various regions of the country have different roles. It seeks to organise and co-ordinate these roles in a complementary, win win way. It is about making regions competitive according to their strengths and not against one another; about ensuring a high quality urban environment, as well as vibrant rural areas. In order to achieve more balanced regional development, a greater share of economic activity must take place outside the Greater Dublin Area. To achieve that the National Spatial Strategy sets out a framework for gateways, hubs and other urban and rural areas to act together. This framework will open up new opportunities in the regions and give people greater choice in relation to where they work and live. The National Spatial Strategy will enable all sectors of the economy to plan future investment in a better-informed way. This more coherent planning will benefit all of us. The Government will ensure that its own policies are implemented in a manner that is consistent with the National Spatial Strategy. Regional and local authorities, along with the State agencies, also have major roles to play in implementing the Strategy. Continuing public participation and support will be key to ensuring the success of the National Spatial Strategy, just as this has assisted its preparation. At the start of the 21st century, the National Spatial Strategy gives us a strategic vision for the spatial development of Ireland so that we can continue to develop economically, while ensuring a high quality of life for all of our people. Bertie Ahern, T.D., Taoiseach
