Census facts:
The new urban utopias - Population
In the post-war era, huge areas of inner-city slums are demolished. To cope with Glasgow’s over spilling population, five new towns are developed; East Kilbride, Irvine, Livingston, Glenrothes and Cumbernauld. With limited space within the city boundaries, city-planners built up and up: in the 50s and 60s, Glasgow built more high-rise flats than any other European city.
