Glasgow by Lynn Abrams
This book focuses on peoples' post-war experiences as they were rehoused from overcrowded and unsanitary Victorian slums, to new high rise estates built on vacant sites within the city and on its periphery.'Glasgow: High-Rise Homes, Estates, and Communities in the Post-War Period succeeds in debunking the design failure paradigm..this is a highly readable book and represents a useful contribution to public housing literature for both American and European readers alike.
