  • Private Cars Are Stealing Public Cities: Land-Use Analysis Across Glasgow
    Private vehicles are stealing public cities: land-use analysis across Glasgow and Dundee, Scotland Marli de Jongh Photo: Ross Sneddon on Unsplash SAGES policy internship working with Scotland’s Future Forum at the Scottish Parliament and the Edinburgh Centre for Carbon Innovation (ECCI) Foreword This report was written prior to the Covid-19 global pandemic, which resulted in the lockdown of many countries worldwide including Scotland. During lockdown there was a global reduction in atmospheric air pollution as a result of the temporary shutdown of industry and lower demand of transport. In Edinburgh, NOx – a greenhouse gas (GHG) associated with emissions from road vehicles – reduced by 78 % on St John’s Road between the start of lockdown in March, and May (Wu and Carslaw., 2020). Similar dramatic decreases in nitrous oxides were recorded in other Scottish cities including Glasgow and Dundee. Moreover, further research during the pandemic identified a potential link between cities with higher amounts of air pollution and higher covid-19- related death tolls (Wu et al., 2020). This highlights the threat air pollution in cities – primarily caused by excessive car use – can have on human respiratory and cardiovascular health (Harrison and Beddows., 2017). During lockdown the need to prioritise space for pedestrians in cities has become more apparent as social distancing rules began. On 28 April, Scottish government announced a £10 million budget for pop-up active travel infrastructure, to be used during the pandemic to ensure physical distancing by widening pavements and cycle lanes. Such changes can be seen in cities across Scotland such as Kelvin Way in Glasgow which was completely closed to motor vehicles to allow for pedestrians and cyclists to exercise safely while keeping the mandatory 2m distance.
