===Post-war history===
An extensive housebuilding programme started in the 1960s, and Radyr's population grew rapidly — particularly children. In 1964 Radyr Primary School had 135 pupils on its roll. This number more than trebled in the next decade.<ref name=TC&G/> A new development, the [[Danescourt]] estate, was built on land surrounding Radyr Court and St John the Baptist parish church, and the land was officially incorporated as a suburb of Cardiff in 1974.<ref name="suburbs">{{cite web |title=The Suburbs and Radyr and Morganstown |url= http://www.cardiffians.co.uk/suburbs/radyr_and_morganstown.shtml |publisher=Cardiffians |access-date=19 April 2011}}</ref> Danybryn Woods, near the development, was retained as the entire forest is protected by a [[tree preservation order]] and is home to many species of plants and wildlife.<ref>{{cite web |title=Danybryn Woods |url=http://www.radyr.org.uk/docs/1814 |publisher=Radyr & Morganstown Community |access-date=19 April 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110719201346/http://www.radyr.org.uk/docs/1814 |archive-date=19 July 2011 }}</ref> Radyr railway station was renovated in 1998 and the tracks through the station were renewed, reducing journey times to Cardiff city centre.<ref name="suburbs"/>

In 2017 construction started on the first phase of a new Cardiff suburb of 7,000 houses, named [[Plasdwr]], on countryside along the Llantrisant Road between Radyr and St Fagans.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/local-news/building-work-first-set-homes-12622402 |title=Building work for first set of homes in Cardiff's £2bn garden city to begin before Easter |work=Wales Online |date=17 February 2017|access-date=14 October 2017}}</ref>
