THEY were once hailed as the solution to Glasgow’s overcrowding problem.
High-rise living can work and many private developments are being built in the city of similar height and equal density to some of the multi-storey ‘schemes’ of the latter 20th century – as can be seen with the built to rent developments springing up all over the city centre. Since the housing stock transfer 20 years ago the skyline of Glasgow has changed with some of the most famous tower blocks taken down with explosives.
Dozens of the high-rise experiments disappeared with little or no protest, but with a little sadness as the majority of people spent many good years in them. The industry that provided work for the parents who moved in disappeared, meaning many left the city for work and poverty took its place.Thousands of people were crammed into a small footprint with not enough amenities factored in.
