HOUSING IN GLASGOW PHOTO




In the 1950s and 1960s there was an explosion of building of high apartment blocks around Glasgow, as the city council attempted to do something about the slums and bomb-damaged inner-city areas. Of course, the "filing cabinets for people" created their own problems. Now, the housing authority is planning to demolish many of them - including these ones at Red Road, Balornock. In recent years they have been given a lick of exterior paint to try to brighten them up.

These high rise in Sydney also had social problems but instead of pulling them down some social workers, theatre people, musicians etc got together to organise a commuity, instead of everybody locked in their own little whole. Apparently it worked, we saw a TV program about it.

it just needed somebody to start things going, and probably will do so again.

That's what the world needs, more people with imagination, dream it , and then make it happen.
