The Development of Housing in Scotland by Douglas Niven Pdf

Originally published in 1979, this volume begins with an historical summary of housing development in Scotland. Scottish urban housing has always followed a unique and distinctive pattern from the rest of the UK, resembling more closely the flatted developments of Continental Europe. The book compares the policies and programmes of development in EU countries and Scandinavia. The problems caused by over-emphasis on public-sector housing in Scotland since the First World War are discussed. A break-down of the work carried out by housing societies and associations reveals little national or local support in Scotland, unlike in European or Scandinavian countries where such association have formed a vital element in their housing policies.

Scottish Housing in the Twentieth Century by Richard Rodger Pdf

Representing an interdisciplinary approach to the distinctive character and development of Scottish housing 1885-1985 this volume focuses on the tensions between national and local policies and the effects of these tensions on the physical stock of housing. Although the focus of research is on central Scotland, examples are drawn from throughout the country, with particular attention being paid to the little-studied and unique Scottish architectural form based on the tenement or high-rise dwelling with its distinctive social and behaviour characteristics. Also skilfully tackled are the remarkable features of overcrowding and heavy dependence on local authoriy housing.

The Development of the West of Scotland 1750-1960 by Anthony Slaven Pdf

The economic and social problems of modern Scotland are at the centre of current debate about regional economic growth, social improvement and environmental rehabilitation. In this book, as relevant today as when it was first published in 1975, Anthony Slaven argues that the extent and causes of these problems are frequently underestimated, thus making development policies less than fully effective. The major economic and social weaknesses of the west of Scotland are shown to be rooted in the regions former strengths. The author demonstrates how, although the region and its people have resisted change, a thriving and self reliant nineteenth-century economy , based on local resources and manpower, has given way in the present century to vanishing skills and products, unemployment and social deprivation. Since 1945 economic and social planning has helped to improve the situation, although many difficulties remain. Seen in the historical perspective provided by this revealing study, the present industrial problems of the west of Scotland, and their remedies, become clearer. Mr Slaven argues that the older industries deserve more help, for without this, he believes, the ineffectiveness of development policies is likely to be perpetuated. This book was first published in 1975.

Assessing Housing Need by Great Britain. Scottish Development Department Pdf

This manual is primarily intended to be one of technical guidance, directed mainly at the officers in local authorities who carry out the work of housing needs assessment or who are responsible for initiating, organising or monitoring the work. This objective was not an easy one to meet satisfactory, for a number of reasons: -- the level of technical knowledge and experience of needs assessment varies widely; a number of local authorities in Scotland have carried out quite detailed assessments but there are many where first hand experience of the approach, methods and techniques recommended here is limited -- housing needs and issues vary widely from one part of the country to another and a particular technique or combination of techniques which may apply in an urban area may not necessarily do so in a rural one and vice versa.
