Wide Streets Commission - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography (236 words)
The Wide Streets Commission was established by Dublin Corporation in 1757 as a body to govern standards on the layout of streets, bridges, buildings and other architectural considerations.
Over the following decades, the commission reshaped the old medieval city of Dublin, and created a network of main thoroughfares by wholescale demolition or widening of old streets or the creation of entirely new ones.
Dame Street, College Green, Christchurch and George's Street are also the result of the project of widening Georgian Dublin's congested streets.
