Abstract

Peter Robinson This paper summarises a talk delivered on Saturday 2 May 2009 on the afternoon of the second day of the AHSS conference ‘Mirror of Modernity’. It records three separate periods of work relating to, largely physical, aspects of tenement improvement in Glasgow carried out by the author: initially over the years 1968–69 on the Rehabilitation in Glasgow Study at the University of Strathclyde; followed by its Oatlands sequel in 1969–70, as a Scottish Development Department pilot exercise. A final interval over 1973–4 covers work relevant to house improvement for the Corporation of the City of Glasgow Planning Department on the Second Review of the Development Plan. The paper ends with a short summary of tenement improvement progress in Glasgow over the decade 1970–1980. These accounts are snapshots of the progress of rehabilitation in the City over a key period of rapid transition, from policies directed exclusively towards clearance, renewal and municipalisation to a more balanced approach embracing community action and improvement. Tenement improvement in the 1960s and 1970s in Glasgow had little to do with conservation as we have come to recognise it since then; described by Miles Glendinning as directed towards civic amenity and with
