Charity plans for an `Arcadian' village

Archiseek / Ireland / News / 1999 / August 01 1999: Charity plans for an `Arcadian' village

A charity is looking at potential sites for the creation of an ecological village within a one hour travel radius of Dublin. Sustainable Projects Ireland (SPI) hopes to set up a community of about 40 houses, a community centre, and an enterprise centre on a 100-acre rural site. The "village" aims to be a model of sustainable development for the next millennium, leading the way in areas such as ecological building methods, local enterprise development, renewable energy systems, rural regeneration, local job creation, waste management, and social/environmental education.
