Gentrification might be a specific issue in certain neighborhoods (Strathbungo, Dennieston, Finnieston) all to varying degrees. The extent to this being a problem for these areas, and whether it's a problem, is maybe a different debate.
Large swathes of the city are noticeably underdeveloped with massive gap sites sticking out all around the periphery of the centre. Where there is development, it's of the temporary sort - converted warehouse buildings housing furniture showroom, gap sites acting as car parks (see Tradeston, parts of western Broomielaw, Trongate and eastwards). In part this is a consequence of the planning for the inner ring road that was never completed, leading to ambiguity over the permanence of these areas.
I strongly welcome any development in these areas tbh. |
