The current ambitious multi-annual regeneration programme includes a broad range of projects from smaller estates in regional towns, to inner city flat complexes in Dublin City. In line with international best practice, each project encompasses a range of activities to deliver integrated physical, social and economic regeneration, incorporating masterplanning, social inclusion interventions, and a planned mix of public and private investment in housing stock, infrastructure and facilities. Generally, the programme is reviewed on an annual basis in the context of finalising funding allocations, with new projects added and additional elements of existing projects advanced, as resources permit. The timing and duration of the individual elements vary over the lifetime of the project. I intend to announce funding allocations for the 2010 programme shortly.
The following table presents an overview of the regeneration programme and the stage of each project. The table also includes details in relation to a number of projects which were previously expected to be progressed through the Dublin PPP Regeneration Programme — it is a matter for Dublin City Council, in the first instance, to consider how to proceed with other projects formerly within that programme. In addition, in the light of changes in the housing market, a number of affordable housing projects, which had been earmarked to proceed by PPP arrangements, are not now to proceed.
