Housing change and community in post-war Glasgow

Lynn Abrams examines Glasgow’s post-war move from overcrowded Victorian housing to high-rise estates, centering the experiences of people rehoused in the process. The account connects residential architecture with the social consequences of urban redevelopment, considering estates built both on vacant sites within the city and at its edges. Its 134 pages offer a focused look at how a major change in housing was lived by the communities involved.
