124 Facilitating Urban Networks To support the effective functioning of two or three towns as a linked gateway or hub, the relevant local authorities at the county and town level with functions in relation to the town will need to collaborate. This will require the integration of their development strategies as they relate to the towns concerned and their surrounding catchment areas to achieve the critical mass needed to drive national and regional development. The initial focus should be on developing strategies for the complementary development of the towns in the network. These strategies should be developed in partnership between the relevant local authorities supported by the city and county development boards, other agencies as well as business and community interests. The strategies for urban networks should focus on harnessing and extending the strengths of the towns involved, their individual and complementary capabilities and their potential for economic development. The following approach should be used. Joint development groups of a manageable size should be established between the relevant local, regional and government bodies, in partnership with local elected representatives and community interests. The development frameworks for the urban network should be prepared on a partnership basis to – identify the particular strengths and weaknesses of individual towns – allocate particular development roles to particular towns in terms of employment, housing, entertainment, education, culture and heritage etc – develop policy for appropriate land uses in the areas between towns taking account of the housing and green structure policies set out in Section 5 – prepare proposals for the complementary physical, economic and social development of the individual towns taking account of their identified roles – identify the key actions, agencies responsible and timescales for implementation – prepare proposals for the augmentation of physical and other connections between individual towns and throughout the area concerned, taking account of practical, operational and spatial considerations – adjust or review local development plans as necessary The feasibility of putting financial and other arrangements in place which offer real incentives for the relevant authorities to work in partnership for mutual benefit should be explored by those authorities. The National Spatial Strategy | People, Places and Potential
The Department of the Environment and Local Government will provide advice and guidance to support the relevant towns in implementing this urban network type model in the Irish context. 6.5 Strategies at Regional and City/County Level Regional Strategies Under the Regional Authorities Establishment Order 1993, regional authorities are required to prepare regional reports every five years covering • a review of the overall development requirements of their regions • a review of the development plans of local authorities in the region and, where relevant, the development plans of local authorities in adjoining regions • a review of the provision of public services in, or relating to, or affecting the region. The regional reports address, from a regional viewpoint, many of the issues which the National Spatial Strategy addresses from a national standpoint. Regional reports were first published in 1996, with the next round due for publication in 2001. The regional reports due in 2001 were postponed, to enable them to take account in particular of the National Spatial Strategy and the strategies for economic, social and cultural development which have been prepared by county and city development boards. Preparation of regional planning guidelines in 2003, consistent with the NSS, in tandem with new regional reports, should be seen as part of a single process. This provides an opportunity for the regional authorities to draw up the reports and guidelines, taking into account the socio-economic context emerging from the County and City Development Board strategies. The Government has decided that responsibility for putting in place the regional frameworks necessary to support the implementation of the National Spatial Strategy as it relates to the Greater Dublin Area will rest with the proposed new body for co-ordinating land use and transport in the area. Pending the establishment of the new body, responsibility will lie with the current structures for strategic land use and transport in the Greater Dublin Area. The Role of Regional Assemblies The regional assemblies have a clear mandate with regard to the implementation of the National Development Plan, management of regional Operational Programmes and the co-ordination of regional development policy. The assemblies will provide any support they can to regional authorities in the preparation of regional planning guidelines. The monitoring committees of the regional assemblies will take account of the NSS in their co-ordination role and, in particular, in their mid-term evaluation of the NDP in 2003. Plans and Strategies at City and County levels The emphasis in the arrangements for delivering the NSS is on building upon existing structures rather than creating new agencies. City and county development plans and strategies are a key point of contact between the NSS at the national level and issues at local level. This reflects the cross-cutting nature of the NSS itself. It also reflects the fact that the City and County Development Boards are integrating the activities of organisations, groups and agencies concerned with socio-economic and other development at the local level. In addition, there is much potential for the co-ordination of the CDB function with the forward planning functions of local authorities under planning legislation. In particular close co-ordination is necessary between city and county development plans setting out the physical development framework, and CDB strategies establishing the socio-economic context.
