Description

Explore the complex social history of Glasgow through the lens of urban development. In Scheming: A Social History of Glasgow Council Housing, 1919-1956, the text examines the massive construction programs launched by the Corporation of Glasgow to replace post-WWI slums. This work investigates how these housing initiatives inadvertently reproduced Victorian class structures within the city's new landscape. Author Se n Damer provides a deep critique of the Corporation's housing policies. The book explores how class-based paternalism influenced the physical design and layout of new estates, leading to the reification of local social hierarchies in bricks and mortar. Readers will gain a better understanding of the unintended consequences of these urban policies, specifically how they contributed to increased social segregation and the creation of ghettoised areas. This academic study is an essential resource for those interested in 20th-century British history, urban sociology, and the evolution of social housing in Great Britain. It offers a detailed look at how architectural decisions and political policies shaped the lives of Glasgow's citizens during a transformative era.
