Introduction Urban environment plays an important role in city or community. The good sustainable landscape not only could improve good quality of living environment, but also reduce consumption of source. According to Scottish Planning Policy (SPP), sustainable development and the creation of high quality places are supported by government in Glasgow. Especially, Milton’s edge (Glasgow’s edge) is primarily rural in character and local environment has been ignored by people for a long time. Therefore, we advocate the position of GREEN, and focus on the depletion, damage, pollution and sustainability in Milton. In our masterplan, Liddesdale road and Castlebay street are identified as two local main road in our design boundary. Meantime, the intersection of these two roads is regard as the centre of the whole Milton with the biggest local service and highest density of residents. We will establish more houses in industrial area and the south of Liddesdale road to replace existing vacant land. Also we will improve the current housing typology to more comfortable and livable for local people. In terms of the green, we implement the sustainable waterstorm management along the side of street.

Therefore, the purpose of this strategy plan is to put Milton back on the map and link it to Greater Glasgow. The introduction of a new street grid and major links to the Bish-opgriggs, Springburn and Possil Park. On a global scale this would mean connecting to the City Centre and the West End through the chain of neigh-bourhoods; a strong ecological framework of a chain of green spaces, plazas, boulevards, connected with the countryside, Possil Marsh Natural Reserve and Forth and Clyde Canal and with the core green and blue spaces in Glasgow, such as Botanic Gardens and Clyde; regeneration of the Balmore Industrial Estate, an urban village with the mix-use elements and higher densities around new node; evenly developed, compact neighbourhood with the opportunity for expansion but no derelict or unused land.

Existing Nodes & Density Overall density in the northern part of Glasgow is identified as low, which is caused by several factors. The main issue is probably the enormous amount of vacant and derelict land hand in hand with lowdense housing structures. Suburban semis have density from 21, 8 to 28,8 units per hectare, tenement housing with density varying from 56,6 to 108,3 units per hectare. Despite the fact that Milton is surrounded by relatively successful neighbourhoods, it exhibits lack of nodes and services inside, leaving residents to travel long way for the basic needs.

Proposed Nodes & Density We identify 2 district nodes in our proposal. One major new local node is placed in conjunction of Liddesdale road and Castlebay street. And the secondary node is located in Liddesdale Square. Both of them are areaccessible with the five to ten minutes walk for the whole Milton and aim to cover all interior needs and provide basic services for the residents and visitors. Meanwhile, this change effectively improves the previous situation with low-dense structure problems.

Existing Street Hierarchy Milton is located between two main arterial routes in Glasgow (A803 and A879). Despite the close proximity, these main routes don’t have direct connection to Milton, leaving the community isolated. Up to the 1940s Liddesdale Road was a transversal connection between Bishopbriggs and Lambhill, but once Milton was built, this connection was broken by Liddesdale Square which acted as a barrier for potential heavy traffic flow. Ashgill Road forms the eastern boundary for Milton cutting it off from any links to Bishopbriggs, therefore intensifying the feeling of isolation. Scaraway Street is one of the main streets in Milton, however it has no main routes to connect it to Liddesdale Road and further on to the southern area of Milton. Hence, a division occurs between the northern and southern part of Milton leading to a divided community not only geographically but socially as well.

Proposed Street Hierarchy The Proposed Street Hierarchy has two main objectives: increase the connectivity between Milton and neighbouring communities and restructure the street hierarchy within Milton to ease north to south access and stronger connection with industy zone. Liddesdale Street now connects Milton in the west and east with the wider context. Hogwarts Road link the north of Milton to the south. The barrier that exists between the north and the south and west and the east will be broken by redeveloping existing neighbourhood streets and creating new streets that will connect the two separated parts of Milton.

Existing Public Transport & Cycle Network Milton lies in an area which was identified as a corridor with potential for mass transit (Booklet No. 3, 2016). Actually, only Bus 75, 128, M3 are regularly linked to the City Centre and beyond. Other buses link Milton to nearby neighbourhoods but run at reduced rates such as Bus 8. Only Bus 75 has a 7min frequency, both Bus 128 and M3 have a 60min frequency which is so long for Milton residents to move. In addition, some residents can’t easily access the bus stops in Milton because some residential areas are located farther away and have no direct street connection leading to these bus stops. Milton lies between two railways, however the train stations are out of walkable distance for residentials to use. Possilpark & Parkhouse and Ashfield stations are on a suburban trail with train frequencies of 30 mins. Bishopbriggs train station is on a direct line between Glasgow Queen Street and Edinburgh Waverley, but the trains stopping there are heading from Queen Street to Stirling area. The frequency is also 30 minutes. In Milton, the existing cycle network is on both sides of the Canal, although on the side of Milton, the cycle path is rather informal. It also makes a connection to Castlebay Street. The Current Cycle Network is weak and consists only of some parts, resulting in a partial existing cycle network in and around Milton.

Proposed Public Transport & Cycle Network Milton has the potential to achieve the spatial framework aims for Glasgow’s future as a connected city, and Milton’s place as a connected neighbourhood, through an exploration of appropriate mass transit solutions (Booklet No. 3, 2016). In our Proposed Public Transport map, we want to extend the current Bus 75 and M3 to Castlebay Street to strengthen the connectivity more for residents, and increase the frequency of Bus M3 if it is possible. Meanwhile, we propose a new small train stop which will be located under junction between Colston Road and Ashgill Road to improve accessibility and decrease car dependency in Milton. The future development of the Milton site should encourage greater cycling opportunities through its design, and the proposed cycle routes should connect with the existing cycle network. The Proposed Cycle Network increases on Ashgill Road, Scaraway Street to Duncryne Place, Strathmore Road and Liddesdale Road. The aim is not only to enrich the internal environmental network but also enhance the connection of north to south and west to east to attract more people from external and nearby area.

Existing Green network
Milton is surrounded by a strong green infrastructure (the Green Belt, Possil Marsh). However the green landscaping fails to penetrate Milton successfully leaving the area fragmented and disconnected. The surroundings on the Current Environmental Network map shows that Milton would benefit from green linkage between the north and south to connect two parts of Milton that are currently separated and also west-east connection that would strengthen its connection with neighbouring green landscapes.

Proposed Green network
First of all, In the study area, each street is together with the green network. Especially, green network is together with the water viewpoint near the pedestrians pavement. In addition, in east of our design area, we set many public green corner surround the street conjunction which makes local people or tourist can easily find a place to rest. Currently, most part of green is definitely poor in Milton because most part of the green are abandoned and no one managed it. In Milton, we develop different sacle of public green space and recreation place (skatepark) to provide people with new and beuatiful landscape and activity area which enrich daily life of local resedints and make them more comfortable and liveable. Safety is also a existing issue that we should take into account. In order to improve the safety of people and make them more freely to enjoy and feel the green, we design all the green public space are surrounded by residential area. Thus, each leisure area can be managed and monitored by residents. To sum up, our safety

Concept plan
It is clear that the comparison between the superimposition of the Current Concept Plan with the Compact City Theory results in the lack of nodes, density, a street hierarchy and an environmental network. Milton momentarily depends on the nodes of neighbouring communities, only increasing the use of cars. There are not enough amenities, high densities and public transportation connections to fulfill the demands of a neighbourhood. Another problem is the lack of green connections inside Milton with the greater green area outside Milton’s boundary. Milton situates itself in a fragmented gap of the Environmental Network. EXISTING CONCEPT PLAN shows current siuation in Milton, with its good potential for the future green network, a great amount of vacant/derelict land, close proximity to the district and local nodes, yet none of those are covering Milton; unevenly developed land with small number of services and low density; lack of connectivity and accessibility, public transport and commune spaces.

Proposed Concept Plan
Overall density in the northern part of Glasgow is identified as low, which is caused by several factors. The main issue is probably the enormous amount of vacant and derelict land hand in hand with low-dense housing structures. We can identify only a few exceptions, mostly around existing neighbourhood nodes. However, in comparison with the dense area of West End these densities are still low. The approximate density level in Milton, after exclusion of the Industrial Area and spaces with the main use of green purposes, is 28 units per ha, a level that is ineffective to cover by public transport (HniliÄ?ka, 2012). A density section through the area has a clear downward trend from the centre to the edge. Urban nodes identified in selected area are mostly on neighbourhood level, the only node classified as a district node is along the Great Western Road (West End). We can state that amenities clusters within Milton are not on the node level and existing neighbourhood nodes are effectively bypassing its area.

Phase 1 (2018-2022) Currently, there are lots of vacant land in the south-west of the our boundary. Therefore, our group choose this place as the first step of our development. Due to the most part will be implented in small area or empty space, which will not disturb the life of local residents. Meantime, we also can evaluate the development of first phase during the implementation process such as estimation of the time, money and some physical condition, Therefore, we can modify and chage it immediately to enhance the efficiency of implementation. The construction of this step is mainly residential area.

Phase 2 (2023-2027) This stage comes as the continution of the last phase, and extend from west to east. Development is mainly based on residential areas together with the public space, public service facilities and landmark building. According to the analysis stage of the study, a swimming pool located on Milton was a strong desire of local people. New Community clinics will provide higher degree of medical serbices. We also hope that one local museum will set up in this phase which shows the history and achievement of Milton. By this way, Milton will be well-known by more people and also local residents are proud of theri home. At the same time, the evaluation will be continue to do, in order to set a strong foundation for next central implementation.

Phase 3 (2028-2032) According to previous strategy plan, we plan to develop the central landmark and surrounding area in this phase. Its implementation is based on last phase, so it will be very efficient. This zone is the area with highest density in our boundary. In order to improve the living quality of the residents, a new local supermarket will be implented in Milton center. Moreover, commercial buildings are built near the local node such as laundry and restaurants etc. Therefore, the integration of the life services will make the local people more conveniently and easily to live.

Phase 4 (2033-2037) The final stage is to develop the rest space of the design area. Within the boundary, it is farthest part from the center. Therefore, this zone has the lowest densities compared with other areas. Put this area into the final phase is because currently it has lots of residential areas and early regeneration will influence the surrounding and orginal residents.

Block Form As can be seen on right current Milton map, there are a large amount of place are empty. In additon, we realize the larger the blocks are, the more vacant lands are, the less the connections through a specific area are. This affects not only the connectivity but also density (more space within blocks), walkability, permeability any many other factors of living. Our approach relies on changing the street network through series of surgical incisions with minimal expenditure but maximal benefits. The final average block size is smaller than the existing ones and connectivity is enhanced while the identity of Milton remains.

Street network A. Central Loop Road System
B. Conjunction of Castlebay St & Egilsay St
Our group re-classified the street in Milton, and clearly indicates the hierarchy, type, function and width of the street. Therefore, the division of the new street layout becomes more clear and interact with each other which enhance the road traffic efficiency. The vision of our plan is to green the Milton, so we expect that when people walk through the local street in Milton they will feel like they are walking in visual park. In the study area, each street is together with the green network. In addition, the mini water landscape with local main road make the Milton more environmental. Fig. 26: Juction Diagram
The pedestrians road is surrounded by green which is an extreme design concept. Its advantage is that pedestrians can not cross the street and thus can not cross the street which ensure the safety of the local people. Moreover, we think that Milton is a slow-paced rensidential palce, so we design some vegetation along the curves to make drivers on this urban main proceed cautiously.

House Typology For the type of the house, we divide it into 3 levels with differnt densities which are low, medium and high densities. Concentrated around Primary Node, high density (70-75 dwellings/ha) represents in four storey multi-family housing. Medium density (60-65 dwellings/ha) represents in three to four storey housing, forming blocks approximately 100 by 100 meters each. Low density (40-45 dwellings/ha) includes areas of the secondary node and of the ‘gateways’ to the neighbourhood. These could be represented in three to two storey semi-detached housing and contemporary Victorian terraces. Fig. 32: Aerial View

Green the Milton
Our topic is green the Milton because we believe in good living environment improves the people’s physical and mental health. Therefore, we plan green spaces, parks, trees in our boundary. Air quality is improved, surface water run-off is eased, and people can enjoy a healthier lifestyle with parks to exercise or relax in Milton is green, our healthy is green.

First of all, In the study area, each street is together with the green network. Especially, green network is together with the water viewpoint near the pedestrians pavement. In addition, in east of our design area, we set many public green corner surround the street conjunction which makes local people or tourist can easily find a place to rest.

Currently, most part of green is definitely poor in Milton because most part of the green are abandoned and no one managed it. In Milton, we develop different sacle of public green space and recreation place (skatepark) to provide people with new and beuatiful landscape and activity area which enrich daily life of local resedints and make them more comfortable and liveable.
Green the Milton Safety is also a existing issue that we should take into account. In order to improve the safety of people and make them more freely to enjoy and feel the green, we design all the green public space are surrounded by residential area. Thus, each leisure area can be managed and monitored by residents. To sum up, our safety is not red, but green.

Waterstorm Management
Porous concrete sidewalks allow water to pass through into the ground
Swales are designed with crossing points
For preventing the large quantity of rainfall and risk of flood in Milton, we design a waterstorm management. Our intention is to create the sustainable, functional residential landscapes that integrate stormwater management, open spaces, and connectivity. The chronic localized flooding could be solved by transforming the landscape into a water filtration zone that slowed, treated and directed flows away from the building. The canopy tree is the most efficient element in storm water management because of prolonged rainwater dripping period. The slope of the lawn and the wave can be adjusted to realize best infiltration effect without triggering water-logging or speedy flow. The open rainwater run off system was created. Rain is delayed on green roofs, in ponds in the courtyards and public spaces and then transported in open channels to the canal and underground storage. Waterways combined with trees and lush under-growth provide exciting and beautiful qualities to the urban environment.
Stormwater pop-ups release water into the yard
Yard drains direct rainwater to swales or a pipe Rocky soil holds water until it seeps into the pipe
Splash blocks slow and direct water away from the house and should be kept clean of leaves Slotted pipes enable water to seep into the ground while moving away from the house and into the rain garden Fig. 50: Residential Stormwater Idea Section

Link Milton to the Industrial area As can be seen in Fig. xx, there is currently only one way connect the residential area with the industrial zone. Therefore, we join an existing dead end and also create many west-east connection, which offer more opptunities of employment to local people and increase more visitors into industry area.

The re-development of the industrial site will include an education and employment centre that will provide residents with the opportunity to develop new skills within a community environment. Skills could include metal work and wood work. Local schools can collaborate with this area to run community labor projects.
