  • Some Thoughts on Glasgow's New Gorbals
    Built historiography in Glasgow’s New Gorbals – the Crown Street Regeneration Project Florian Urban In 2000, the Crown Street Regeneration Project in Glasgow’s Gorbals was completed after a master plan by Piers Gough of the London firm CZWG - Campbell, Zogolovitch, Wilkinson, Gough (Fig. 1). The Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment (CABE) commended the project as a ‘highly livable neighbourhood with well-placed community facilities and attractive public spaces.’1 Built on symbolically contested grounds that were previously occupied by the Gorbals tenements (1870s-1960s) and the high-rise Hutchesontown flats (1960s- 1990s), the new development is a textbook example of neo-traditional design. Approximately 2000 residential units and numerous commercial spaces are accommodated in block perimeter buildings that enclose central courtyards and abound with historical references. Figure 1: Crown Street Regeneration Project, looking north. Crown Street runs north-south in the middle of the picture, Laurieston Road is on the left side (photograph: Guthrie, courtesy CZWG). 1 http://www.cabe.org.uk/case-studies/crown-street (accessed October 2010) Journal of Art Historiography Number 5 December 2011 Florian Urban Built Historiography in Glasgow’s New Gorbals The use of historic forms and quotes turn-of-the-twenty-first-century architecture has been the subject of numerous studies. Analyses have mostly focused on the operations of architectural meaning, as a linguistic or poetic expression of individual experience,2 in relation to program and function,3 as indebted to typological continuity,4 or in relation to the specificity of place.5 Little attention, however, has been dedicated to the historiographic dimension of such architecture, that is, its capacity to make a statement on the significance of past events and conditions.

PRINTED BY ALEXANDER GARDNER, PAISLEY. THr LflJRARY PREFACE. Few words are required to introduce this little work to the public of Glasgow. Suffice it to say that on several occasions during the past four years I was invited and did deliver lectures on "Old Gorbals"" to a number of public bodies, among others being the Gorbals Ward Committee, the Old Glasgow Club, and Educational Guilds in connection with the Kinningpark Co-operative Society. The princi- pal matter contained in these lectures I have arranged, edited, and now issue in book form. While engaged collecting materials for the lectures, I discovered that a number of errors had crept into previous publications relating to Old Gorbals. For example, some writers seemed to have entertained the idea that there was only one George Elphinston rented or possessed the lands of Gorbals, whereas there were three of the name, all in direct succession. M'Ure and other historians, failing to distinguish the difference between a Barony and a Burgh of Barony, state that Gorbals was erected into a Burgh of Barony in 1595.

  • Draft Gorbals Locality Plan Section 1
    Draft Gorbals Locality Plan Section 1 – Introduction What is a Locality Plan? Community Planning Partnerships are tasked with tackling inequalities. One of the ways of doing this is through Locality Plans. Ten areas of Glasgow, including Gorbals, have been identified for the preparation of Locality Plans by October 2017. Locality Plans set out what will be different for communities 10 years from now. It is important to note that this document has been prepared quickly and that we will use the period between October 2017 and October 2018 to work with Gorbals residents and organisations to develop and refine the plan. Community Planning Partnerships have been asked to prepare Locality Plans for two important reasons. Firstly, partnership working in a neighbourhood, using a place based approach, allows partners to develop well targeted and effective approaches that reflect the priorities of that community. Secondly, it allows residents to become directly involved in informing the decisions that affect their lives. The Gorbals Regeneration Group This Locality Plan for Gorbals has been prepared by the Gorbals Regeneration Group. This group was formed in 2011 to tackle poverty and inequality in Gorbals. It was well placed to take responsibility for the Gorbals Thriving Place, when it was established by the Community Planning Partnership in August 2013. The Group is chaired by a local councillor and membership includes: all Gorbals elected members; public sector and voluntary sector organisations working in Gorbals; and 1 community organisations. The work of the Groups is co-ordinated by New Gorbals Housing Association, which is the Community Anchor for Gorbals.

    Glasgow City Council Housing Development Committee Report by Director of Development and Regeneration Services Contact: Jennifer Sheddan Ext: 78449 Operation of the Homestake Scheme in Glasgow Purpose of Report: The purpose of this report is to seek approval for priority groups for housing developments through the new Homestake scheme, and for other aspects of operation of the scheme. Recommendations: Committee is requested to: - (a) approve the priority groups for housing developments through the new Homestake scheme; (b) approve that in general, the Council’s attitude to whether the RSL should take a ‘golden share’ in Homestake properties is flexible, with the exception of Homestake development in ‘hotspot’ areas where the Housing Association, in most circumstances, will retain a ‘golden share’; (c) approve that applications for Homestake properties should normally be open to all eligible households, with preference given to existing RSL tenants to free up other existing affordable housing options; (d) approve that net capital receipts to RSLs through the sale of Homestake properties will be returned to the Council as grant provider to be recycled in further affordable housing developments.

Each profile provides indicators for a range of health outcomes (e.g. life expectancy, mortality, hospitalisation) and health determinants (e.g. smoking levels, breastfeeding, income, employment, crime, education). These profiles build on the success of both the 2004 community health profiles published by NHS Health Scotland (www.scotpho.org.uk/communityprofiles), and of the ‘Let Glasgow Flourish’ report published by GCPH in April 2006 (www.gcph.co.uk/content/view/17/34/).
