HOUSING IN GLASGOW Feature by Joseph Bibby
!
With the arrival of the Commonwealth Games, Glasgow has the world’s attention, with thousands pouring into a city keen to make a good impression. But while Glasgow is feeling the boon from the tourism this brings, much of the city finds itself wanting. Housing has, for much of Glasgow’s history, been a problem for too many of its citizens, with approximately 40,000 people on the housing waiting list, and 2,000 empty homes in 2012. With a selection of pieces, the Commonwealth Film and Theatre Festival aims to explore the hardships that beset Glasgow’s citizens, and ensure that these issues remain in the public consciousness, rather than being swept aside to make way for the Games.
