Dublin Chamber wants the capital to become a "15 minute city" as part of an ambitious new urban vision.
The business group says instead of designated office, residential and shopping zones, residents would be able to work, shop and have leisure facilities within minutes of their home.
The organisation says through revamped planning, the model would cut car use and congestion and make Dublin a more liveable city.
It says there needs to be diverse housing options and access to safe cycle route, local public transport, local health facilities, parks and shops.

It's highlighted the success of the 'hyper-proximity' approach in other cities such as Melbourne, Barcelona and Paris.
The Chamber says the recent lockdown highlighted the importance of urban planning that is focused on creating liveable, walkable communities in which people can live and access most of their daily needs within a 15 minute walk or cycle.
Director of Public & International Affairs is Aebhric McGibney;
"Reduced congestion and pollution, enhanced public spaces, thriving local economies and efficient public transport would all improve Dublin’s international reputation and competitiveness."
