After all the research done during the last months and after the interviews taken I have understood better the situation of Possilpark, and also what can help improve the mental health and consequently the deprivation that has been there for more than 40 years. At the same time, thanks to Moira’s interview, I understood that all the demographics and data found on official websites does not reflect people in possilpark, it just reflects their current situation. Me, as an outsider, can not help them ‘fix’ the problems they have. So, as a future architect, I want to provide spaces for them to reflect, dissconnect and also connect with one another so they continue to have that community spirit they already have. Providing spaces that belong to the community, spaces they want to be in and spend time. These spaces should be a place to spend their leisure time and enjoy, not a place to pass by that it is un-used. These changes will not make an impact just in a near future , but also something that will lasts for years and years. Something that could be implemented in other cities or neighbourhoods to improve their mental health.
