Re: Hi from dear old Glasgow town
The regeneration of the Crown Street area of Glasgow has created a highly liveable neighbourhood with well-placed community facilities and attractive public spaces.
As part of the Gorbals area, the neighbourhood has undergone a number of redevelopments during the last century and has traditionally been associated with low levels of income and poor standards of living. Following the demolition of unsuccessful 1960s residential tower blocks in the late 1980s, a masterplan was devised to create a mixed-use neighbourhood that would return to the smaller scale of the original residential tenement buildings of the area and meet the social and economic needs of the future population. Glasgow"™s Crown Street is an inner city area that sits approximately a mile to the south east of the city centre and immediately south of the River Clyde.
The neighbourhood has a strong focus on liveability, with a range of independent shops, community facilities and green open spaces serving the neighbourhood. A flagship library has been introduced, a former church has been converted into a well used community centre and communal gardens and small parks provide plenty of space for young children. The area has rapidly developed a strong sense of community, despite the comprehensive redevelopment which has taken place.
They should not have knocked down the tenements. In fact I do not live in Crown Street it was just part of the story. So no Xmas cards please
