Hutchesontown
From UK Housing Wiki
Hutchesontown is a district that makes up part of the Gorbals in Glasgow's south side. After decades of squalor and deprivation of an unimaginable scale, it was earmarked for comprehensive development in the 1950s it was marked for comprehensive redevelopment. The tenement slums would be demolished to make way for exciting new high rise developments. It was one of the most ambitious projects of it's time.
The daring initiative proved to be an expensive failure. The tower blocks were cheaply built and were not simply satisfactory for habitation in many cases. Most of Hutchesontown has seen continual regeneration since the late 1980s to reverse the damage caused by the ill-planned high rise estate most notably by the Crown Street Regeneration Project. Most of the tower blocks are either condemned or have been demolished already. Very few will survive.
