Blighted and forgotten waterfront areas are on track for development in Scotland using 19th century new towns as inspiration.
Once embarrassing waterfront real estate in Scotland is gaining new charm. Planners, architects, and builders in Glascow, Edinburgh, and Dundee are rediscovering the assets of their coastal areas and are "returning to the past" to restore some lustre to their towns.
"There are no fewer than 53 regeneration projects on the banks of the Clyde."
The trend toward redeveloping the waterfront converges with a new appreciation of older buildings. In preserving the "physical evidence of their past," community designers and the public hope to avoid "the tower blocks fiasco of the 1960s, with the additional excitement of driving rain, mist and wind from the sea."
