Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 SYNOPSIS A major factor in the shift in favour of house rehabilitation and away from comprehensive clearance and redevelopment has been the belief that rehabilitation is much less socially disruptive. This assumption has been little tested. "By examining an area of Glasgow subject to considerable house improvement, this dissertation seeks to identify the social and community impacts of rehabilitation. Does rehabilitation benefit existing residents? Do households leave the area as a result of rehabilitation and, if so, where do they go and how do they rate their post-move housing conditions? Who replaces them? These are some of the questions the dissertation addresses. CHAPTER 1 examines the thinking behind the move from clearance to improvement while CHAPTER 2 reviews both American and British literature on the social aspects of rehabilitation. CHAPTER ) deals with the legislative side of house improvement and the changing emphases of successive policies. The impact of legislative changes on the quantity and impact of improvement work is also considered. CHAPTER 4 consists of a brief description of the study area itself and an outline of the development of improvement activity within it while CHAPTER 5 sets out working hypotheses and develops a possible methodology for the study of the social impact of rehabilitation. CHAPTER 6 is an analysis of results drawing together the various data sets used into a generalised overview. Supporting the factual data, CHAPTER 7 summarises discussions with various public and private agencies and local community groups about the operation and results of improvement policy. CHAPTER 8 extends the discussion beyond the confines of the study area by developing a more generalised model of neighbourhood change and household movement as affected by rehabili­ tation. On the basis of a set of indicators of neighbourhood change, other areas of the city are identified where rehabilitation pressures are likely to be greatest. A number of policy recommendations emerge from a closer examination of the model. Acknowledgements Thanks are due firstly to my supervisor, Jean Forbes, for her constant help and encouragement and to the many people who assisted in the collection of data, especially the staff of Reidvale Housing Association, the Private Sector of Glasgow District Housing Department, Duncan Maclennan, Isobel Robertson and Mary Latham. Much appreciation also to my typist, Mrs. Hilda Walker, for giving the dissertation an air of academic respectability which it might otherwise have lacked. And thanks finally to family and friends for never admitting to being too bored with the whole thing.

Critical examination of the post-war emphasis on wholesale clearance and redevelopment resulted in a review of the traditionally minor role of rehabilitation in ameliorating housing conditions. While the fundamental role of the rehabilitation programme has been modified through time, it has always been claimed that improve­ ment of the existing housing stock avoids certain of the major excesses of the "bulldozer" approach, especially the length and expense of clearance and the social disruption inflicted upon existing communities. Popular wisdom holds that improvement is less socially disruptive than clearance. Such wisdom has unfortunately too often been based on ill- conceived ideas of the purpose and process of improvement and anecdotal evidence about the social impact of rehabilitation policy. The dearth of research reflects a number of factors. The 1974 Housing Act resulted in a new approach to house rehabilitation, especially of the kind carried out by Housing Associations in Housing Action Areas, Many of these programmes have been in operation for only seven or eight years and any attempt to assess their social impact before now might have proven premature. In addition such research is often thwarted by the problems of definition which surround any study of ’social matters’ and ’community ties’. Having successfully negotiated the definitional problems, there are still considerable practical diffi­ culties in designing and implementing a research methodology to address the proper questions. Nevertheless it is felt that sufficient time has passed in the life of the improvement programme to seriously examine the social impact of rehabilitation. This is not seen primarily as an exercise in destruc­ tive criticism but as an attempt to shed some light on a topic which, if ignored, may render improvement policy open to the same kinds of criticisms levelled at slum clearance in the late 1960’s, It was from conventional wisdom based on unquestioned assumptions that many of the oversights of that time arose. It is only in recent years that planners have come to accept that they serve a multitude of public interests rather than the single monolith by which they have traditionally justified much of their work. Very little work has been done in the identification of the different groups involved in the improvement process and in the costs and benefits accruing to them.

  • Dr Anne Mullen, Chair, Deep End Group Scotland
    SSC/S5/19/BTU/57 SOCIAL SECURTIY COMMITTEE BENEFIT TAKE-UP SUBMISSION FROM: DR ANNE MULLEN, CHAIR, DEEP END GROUP SCOTLAND DEEP END MONEY ADVICE PROJECT BACKGROUND For 2014/15, Glasgow Calton was judged to be the worst affected ward in the UK by welfare reform; an estimated £880 a year per working age adult was to be removed from the local economy, largely due to changes in incapacity benefits1. Since then, the four year benefit freeze has reduced the real-terms value of most working-age benefits, and the two- child limit has denied entitlement to thousands of families. THE PROJECT Since December 2015, the Deep End Money Advice Project has gradually embedded the delivery of money advice in 17 Deep End GP Practices in North East Glasgow. Deep End Practices serve the most socio-economically deprived populations in Scotland. The majority of the Practices in the Project are in the Glasgow Calton ward. GEMAP Scotland Ltd. Money Advisors are embedded in Practices in three GP clusters (Parkhead, Bridgeton and Dennistoun) for half a day per Practice per week. Advisors can access patient medical records (with consent) to assist completion of high quality benefit applications / reviews / appeals thus reducing the risk of vulnerable people spending unnecessary, and potentially stressful, time in the system. Typically, money issues raised by patients in GP Practices are more complex than in other settings2. GOVERNANCE The project is managed by the North East Health Improvement Team (Glasgow HSCP) and overseen by an Advisory Group which includes two GPs and representation from the Scottish Deep End Project, Clyde Gateway, Glasgow Centre for Population Health and GEMAP Scotland Ltd.

  • Haghill/Milnbank Spatial Development Framework | Project Brief | October 2010
    Haghill/Milnbank Spatial Development Framework | Project Brief | October 2010 Urban Design Studies Unit | Department of Architecture | University of Strathclyde 1. The Unit The Urban Design Studies Unit (UDSU) covers the Urban Design part of four areas of knowledge practiced in the Department of Architecture at University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, UK, which also include Architectural Design, Sustainability and Technology, and Cultural Studies. UDSU was set up in 1989 by Hildebrand Frey, to address problems of urban rehabilitation, renewal and restructuring. Its research originally focused on the city and its origin, its development, form and structure and expanded to its impact on people and community engagement. It has developed over time within the areas of ecological, urban and economic sustainability, the history of urban design, minorities and the built environment. Research within the group has been sponsored by the EU, ESRC, AHRC, RTPI and other grants. UDSU has a strong expertise on urban analysis, planning and design, street design and traffic calming, community engagement in urban policies and design, identity and sociability of public spaces. Currently the Unit, led by Professor Sergio Porta and Dr. Ombretta Romice, is expanding further towards an interpretation of urban form and dynamics as layered manifestations of complex relationships that require different ways of interpreting, representing and managing space. This shift towards an understanding of how urban space changes, i.e. a concept of adaptive space, may provoke Darren Baird and Mark Feeley: students’ Masterplan for innovations in Urban Design practice by means of contributions from many the regeneration of Govan district in Glasgow, UK, 2010.
