6.4 - Strategic Approach
The strategic approach to the city economy and enterprise set out in this chapter aligns with the overall goals of national, regional and local economic and planning policy outlined above. As a result, the strategic approach underpinning the policies and objectives contained in the following section of this chapter will seek to:
- safeguard and enhance Dublin’s role as Ireland’s internationally competitive capital and global gateway to the region and state;
- promote strategic and targeted employment growth;
- support regeneration and tackle vacancy;
- underscore the importance of climate action, placemaking and quality of life;
- support key economic sectors; and
- support innovation and smart specialisation;
- foster local action, diversity, inclusiveness and openness.
This strategic approach also forms part of an overall spatial strategy for the development of the economy of Dublin City in the context of the wider Dublin metropolitan region, as is discussed in the next section.
