-KA. Photo by Kirsty Anderson Throughout this pandemic we have been making assumptions about how life would change and chief amongst those has been the view that in the post pandemic era activity would move away from city centres and out to smaller towns and local neighbourhoods. City centres would struggle to recover fully from the battering they have taken and broadly the bigger the city the greater the long-term damage would be. With the re-opening of non-essential shops and hospitality we will soon be able to assess some of those assumptions against hard evidence. Having spent Saturday afternoon in Glasgow city centre my first impressions were encouraging. To quote one Chamber retail member, the ‘town was very busy and the city centre was buzzing’. Small queues gathered outside several shops and one or two beer gardens were especially popular. The young were out in large numbers.
