Blazing our trail:the story of St Michael's regeneration continues

Residents brave the cold to celebrate a brighter future in Dublin 8. The regeneration of St Michael's is marked as by a firework display in the area, before the tower block is demolished!

The theme o the night was how the community of St. Michael's is carving out a new future for itself. The 14 acre site will soon be home to those who will live in a new community of 720 units. The community is seizing the opportunity to develop a social regeneration not just the bricks and mortar of new developments.

Indymedia has a good archive about some of the places and issues around Regeneration and Dublin Communities.
