Dublin was first inhabited in 988 AD by Vikings and was taken over by Oliver Cromwell in 1649. It expanded greatly in the 17th century as a center for Protestant refugees. Today, Dublin is the cultural, economic, and political center of Ireland with a population of over 1 million people. Several no-build zones were established to preserve parks and maintain a low skyline in the historically mixed residential and industrial areas. The city focuses new development on expanding the service and industrial sectors rather than new residential areas.
