“…These were the contribution by Graham (2000) on 'Urbanisation in Ireland during the High Middle Ages c. 1100 to c. 1350', which was more geared towards the processes of urbanization than towards urban form, and the chapter by Andrews (2000) on 'Plantation Ireland: a review of settlement history', which provided maps of plantation towns. Loeber (1991) in his study of the English colonization of Ireland made good use of town plans and Graham and Proudfoot (1992) explored Urban improvement in provincial Ireland, 1700-1840. Proud-foot (1995 also published a major monograph on urban patronage and social authority and a shorter contribution on landlord, planning and urban growth in eighteenth and early nineteenth century Ireland (Proudfoot, 1997).…”

Urban form is studied in a variety of disciplines in Ireland, but it has not, until recently, been central to urban studies. Histories of individual towns have usually been preoccupied with political, socio-economic and cultural issues. Archaeological excavations have made an important contribution to the reconstruction of Viking and Anglo-Norman towns. Map evidence is good for early-modern plantation towns. The Irish historic towns atlas provides detailed cartographic and topographical information for a growing number of towns within a chronological and thematic framework. Urban form is often considered as a container for socio-economic processes or as a marker in the search for cultural identity. Architectural studies have focused by and large on buildings of importance. While no Irish scholar has in a strict sense adopted Conzen’s method of town-plan analysis, there is evidence for the emergence of a new focus on the fabric of the urban area rather than on the special event represented by the particular building. The ‘cultural turn’ in the social sciences has favoured discussions on town plans as ideological constructs and on the importance of urban space for civic society. There appears to be an increasingly strong morphological perspective in urban studies which is likely to be a reaction to the loss of historical fabric in the context of large-scale urban renewal schemes.
