Ireland and the Rise of Permanent Renting

For a long time, Irish cities were shaped by an idea so familiar it rarely needed to be named. Urban life was expected to be rooted, local and continuous. Shops were run by people who lived nearby. Pubs passed from one generation to the next. Streets changed slowly, accumulating memory rather than replacing it. A city was not merely a space to move through, but a place that belonged — quietly and almost invisibly — to those who lived in it.
