Well produced ‘Civic Survey’ of Dublin, describing the city’s existing buildings, road systems, industries and recreational facilities, with illustrations and plans of recent housing developments and public open spaces, railway stations, etc.

It was issued as a sequel to Abercrombie and Kelly’s prize-winning plan for Dublin, and it includes a foreword by Abercrombie in which he expresses the hope that his plan and this volume would serve as the basis for a final plan that would foreshadow the growth of the city for the remaining three-quarters of the twentieth century.
