Cityscape

Cultural divide

A north–south division once, to some extent, traditionally existed, with the River Liffey as the divider.^[1] The southside was, in recent times, generally seen as being more affluent and genteel than the northside.^[1] There have also been some social divisions evident between the coastal suburbs in the east of the city, and the newer developments further to the west.^{[citation needed]}

City Centre

The historic city centre of Dublin is encircled by the Royal Canal and Grand Canal, bounded to the west by Heuston railway station and Phoenix Park, and to the east by the IFSC and the Docklands. O'Connell Street is the main thoroughfare of the inner city and many Dublin Bus routes, as well as the Green line of the Luas have a stop at O'Connell Street. The main shopping streets of the inner city are Henry Street on the Northside, and Grafton Street on the Southside.

In some tourism and real-estate marketing contexts, inner Dublin is sometimes divided into a number of quarters.

Starting in the late 2010s, there has been a significant amount of high density residential developments in the suburbs of Dublin, with mid to high-rise apartments being built in Sandyford[6], Ashtown^[7], and Tallaght.
