Comment | The first Bruce Report recommended flattening almost all of Glasgow city centre, and putting something in its place which would have seemed like a cross between Brasilia and Cumbernauld.
Whilst a lot of this seems like lunacy to modern eyes, it's an understandable response to the condition of the city at the time. Housing stock was appalling in many areas, industry was declining and dilapidated. Traffic problems were terrible.
What we've ended up with is almost a midpoint between the two extremes. |
