Glasgow Theses Service http://theses.gla.ac.uk/ [email protected] Neoliberal Urbanism and Spatial Composition in Recessionary Glasgow Neil Gray MRes Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Geographical and Earth Sciences College of Science and Engineering University of Glasgow November 2015 i Abstract This thesis argues that urbanisation has become increasingly central to capital accumulation strategies, and that a politics of space - commensurate with a material conjuncture increasingly subsumed by rentier capitalism - is thus necessarily required. The central research question concerns whether urbanisation represents a general tendency that might provide an immanent dialectical basis for a new spatial politics. I deploy the concept of class composition to address this question. In Italian Autonomist Marxism (AM), class composition is understood as the conceptual and material relation between ‘technical’ and ‘political’ composition: ‘technical composition’ refers to organised capitalist production, capital’s plans as it were; ‘political composition’ refers to the degree to which collective political organisation forms a basis for counter-power.

Nitshill has a rich, though little-known history, but, as we are finding out, its current and former residents have wonderful memories of the village and the close community spirit which, it might be argued, still exists, especially through these current troubled times.

  • Glasgow Subway a 2020 Vision S CLYDE LINE "A World Class Transport System, Fit for the 21St Century, Is Essential for All Scotland."
    Glasgow Subway a 2020 Vision S CLYDE LINE "A world class transport system, fit for the 21st century, is essential for all Scotland." Transport Minister Tavish Scott Evening Times S 12/01/07 CIRCLE LINE thg RAIL Foreword This paper has been prepared by thgRAIL as a discussion document designed to draw attention to the presently under utilised asset of the Glasgow Subway, focus on its contribution to the urban transport network and plan for new investment and expansion of the system for the next ten to fifteen years. The impetus for such a report has been triggered by the December 2006 publication, Regional Transport Strategy (RTS) for the West of Scotland 2007 – 2021, presented by the Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT) as part of their role assumed as the recognised regional transport authority for the West of Scotland. That document, entitled “A Catalyst for Change”, does feature the revitalisation of the Subway as one of the ten SPT priority projects however that priority does not appear to be high with the expected (and unspecified) system improvements not apparent until the latter third of the RTS programme in 2017. This lack of ambition for the Glasgow Subway is underlined by the promotion of possible competing transport modes such as Fastlink (2010); Bus Rapid Transit (2017) and Glasgow City Centre Bus Priority (2018) before the existing subway infrastructure. thgRAIL sees the Subway literally and figuratively at the core of any regional transport strategy and as such it should be a key component, examined, utilised and exhausted before alternatives are considered. There can be no greater measure of sustainability than working with our existing tools to maximum efficiency prior to any attempt to introduce new or replacement systems.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Glasgow School of Art: RADAR Florian Urban, Glasgow School of Art, [email protected] Modernizing Glasgow – Tower Blocks, Motorways, and New Towns 1940-2010 Currently 12,800 words plus abstract and captions Keywords: modernist architecture, modernist urbanism, “slum clearance”, Glasgow, Gorbals, East Kilbride, Cumbernauld, Castlemilk, new towns, tower blocks Abstract This article presents the history of Glasgow’s architectural and urban modernization, which resulted, among others, in the serial design of both modernist tower blocks and low-rise buildings, extensive ‘slum clearance’, motorway construction, and the establishment of new towns in the wider area. Drawing on select archival materials and a variety of published studies, the article draws a bigger picture of modern Glasgow, as it evolved as a result of comprehensive ideas, their partial implementation, and their subsequent modification over the course of seven decades. The article shows that within the umbrella approach “modernist urbanism” there were in fact a number of different strategies. They were related to different municipal and national institutions, whose rivalries had a significant impact on the built outcome, and eventually proved to be more disruptive than the values and visions that these institutions shared. It will also show that the modern aspirations for grandeur were intrinsically vulnerable to disruption, and were largely implemented in a makeshift and reactive manner,
