FEW people who lived in the city in the 50s will forget the ‘Glasgow Clearances’. This was a time of momentous change. The Corporation decided that Glasgow’ s housing problems would be resolved by a massive programme of slum clearance and relocation of communities. It was underpinned by the Clyde Valley Regional Planning Strategy of1946, prepared by Sir Patrick Abercrombie, a distinguished planning expert, to tackle the complex social and economic problems covering Glasgow and the five counties surrounding it. The report identified the need to disperse between 250,000 and 300,000 people from the centre of the city. In the 1940s and 1950s housing schemes had appeared on the outskirts of the city at Pollok, Castlemilk, Easterhouse and Drumchapel.
