A huge dream for the future, but now a characterless expanse of concrete. Not a particular social disaster, just a bleak symbol of obsolete thinking submerged now in Glasgow's sprawling fringes. Several more recent documentaries have been made on what happened after the bubbles burst. -- Last edit: 2012-08-22 12:45:37
