I. DEFINING THE PROBLEM AND ITS SOLUTION Drumchapel has been shaped by the decentralisation planning policies of the 1950s, as a result the density of its housing stock is quite low, and the provision of amenities is insufficient. The planning of the district has been significantly influenced by topographic challenges, hence its street network follows the most efficient way overcoming height difference rather than the most efficient way of connecting places. Rapid decline of the housing stock, as well as underlying socio-economic factors have been the reason for a decline in its population from 34 000 in the 50s to 12 000 today. Due to the deficiency of cultural facilities, locals are limited in their access to educational and social activities. The current location of the train station connecting to the city centre is rather incontinent in relation to the location of most of the residential areas.

Drumchapel

Current Issues Population and density Since its creation in 1950s, the district of Drumchapel has had a continuous decline in population going from 34 000 to 12 714 people in 2015. This decline has had a dramatic effect on all characteristics of the area. It has contributed to the increase of vacant land and the closure of many local amenities due to the lack of footfall. The majority of the population in Drumchapel is comprised of young children and the percentage of single-parent households is the staggering 55% compared to 8% in Glasgow. There is also lacking cultural diversity due to the very low number of people from ethnic minorities. A mix of people of different ages and different background would help bring more vibrancy and diversity and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been suggested that this could be achieved by enriching the existing services, religious centres, places of work and housing types (Analysis Booklet 3 Planning Framework, 2017).

Flooding Parts of Drumchapel, particularly to the north run a risk of flooding. This should be seriously taken into account since it can affect any proposed development or infrastructure intervention. The areas of Drumchapel that are susceptible to flooding also run the risk of ending up being less desirable to develop since higher chance of flooding often means higher insurance costs and can require expensive ways to remediate land to make it less vulnerable. (Analysis Booklet 1 Drawing the existent city, 2017)

Areas prone to flooding diagram, (Analysis Booklet 3 Planning framework, 2017)

Green space Drumchapel has an abundance of unused and unattended green space that acts as a bar-rier between neighbourhoods. Despite the generous amount of green space, the overall biodiversity in the area is quiet low and consists of common species. The Garscadden burn has the highest biodiversity in the area with strong vegetation and can support many species. SEPA encourages the preservation of areas like this and can offer advice on the protection of the water environment when considering a planning application. (Analysis Booklet 3 Planning framework, 2017)

Booklet no.9: Group 4: 4D Vision

Topography

Drumchapel is set over several drumlins with the road network running between them. This is a major contributor to the depravity in some areas due to the lack of easy access. The fact that the drumlins in Drumchapel have an egg-shaped character means that some of them have one steeper side and that can cause problems when developing. (Analysis Booklet 3 Planning framework, 2017)

Street network

The key component of the road network in Drumchapel is the Kinfaus drive/ Linkwood drive/ Southdeen avenue circuit. It serves as a connection to the main road network- Great Western Road. An area that requires attention is the connection between North East Drumchapel and its surrounding areas (Cochno and Bearsden) as there isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t an existing robust connection. There is also a lack of direct connection between the north and south side of Drumchapel. (Analysis Booklet 3 Planning framework, 2017)

Lack of amenities

Almost all parts of Drumchapel experience lack of access to amenity provision of any kind within 250m of the centre of their areas. The greatest access to provision, in the case of all of them was found within the 1-2 km ring which combined with the low numbers of car ownership raises the question of accessibility. There needs to be better distribution of amenities within the neighbourhoods so at the very least the everyday needs of the people living there are met. (Analysis Booklet 1 Drawing the existent city, 2017)

Drumchapel

Centrality

Unfortunately, Drumchapel doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hold a central position as an intermediary between surrounding areas. The transport network goes around it and therefore Drumchapel is no an important linking destination within the overall network. This means that its potential as a setting for activities and interaction is dramatically reduced. One of the priorities for future developments in Drumchapel should be the creation of a backbone of streets with high betweenness centrality. (Analysis Booklet 5 Network analysis and streets, 2017)

Forgotten landmarks

Most of the historic landmarks in Drumchapel have been demolished. The most notable piece f history still standing in the Antonine wall which was listed as a World heritage site by UNESCO in July 2008. The wall is included as a stop in the local heritage trail route that is suggested for visitors but its full potential as a tourist destination remains not fully explored. (Analysis Booklet 2 History and Stories, 2017)

Transport

Car ownership in Drumchapel is significantly lower as a result of the dominance of low-income housing in the area. This means that local people rely heavily on public transport to reach the city center. Drumchapel is serviced by one train station on the periphery but is very well covered by the bus network. Four of the available lines connect to the city center and Bus route 3 and CB2 allow a connection between Drumchapel train station and the rest of Drumchapel. There are some outer areas, however, that still have limited coverage and would benefit from introducing a new transport service similar to the CB2 as it connects all areas of Drumchapel. (Analysis Booklet 3 Planning framework, 2017)

Booklet no.9: Group 4: 4D Vision

Soil conditions

Drumchapel has a very complex soil structure because there are many different types of soil that can be found within its boundaries. There are two areas located on slopes where thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s already housing built. Any further structures introduced to the area would require piles if over 3 stories high. (Analysis Booklet 3 Planning framework, 2017)

Dri

Road network and vacant land Kinfauns

The layout of the road network in Drumchapel doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allow for quick and efficient connections between neighborhoods. There is a concentration of buildings around the main road circuit but the land beyond that is left undeveloped and disconnected.

Services and distance Most of the services and open buildings in Drumchapel are scattered around the main road artery and are surrounded by vast open spaces with no specific use. This makes walking in the area difficult as nothing to be used as a reference for distance.

Addressing the complex problem

There many challenges that need to be considered and overcome in Drumchapel, however, it is important understand that any successful strategy that is trying to tackle all challenges opposed in the area is going to be a long-term project. Vibrant urban areas tent to evolve naturally with the help of interventions spread over a period of time, rather than through drastic changes made in one substantial redevelopment. It is important to come up with a clear concept of the steps that need to be taken in order to reach a final positive outcome and to put those steps in a sensible timeframe. The different actions donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t simply follow one after another, since there are layers upon layers of problems, they would require complex solutions and steps of intervention that overlap each to ensure the success of the entire strategy.

Flood Risk Management: Bethemplein Water Plaza Bethemplein water plaza is a solution that combines technical engineering and public place-making in Rotterdam. In order to mitigate high flooding risks, local authorities and designers have devised a water plan that maps available water storage areas in the city that could act as buffers in the event of downpours. This investment in drainage infrastructure doubles as investment in urban space as the systems are designed as active parts of the city environment. There are different types of water buffers such as sunken squares, smart street profiles, water balloons and dams to suit different urban conditions. The water square in Rotterdam only fills in during heavy rainfall and the water remains in the basin for several hours (up to 32 hours in worst case scenarios) before it gradually drains away. In the rest of the time, this feature is an urban setting open for social interaction. This prototype holds 1000m3 of water that can be contained to protect the entire neighbourhood from flooding (Boer, 2010, Resilient Glasgow, 2014).

Creating job opportunities, high density, cultural diversity and community spirit are extremely important outcomes of a good strategy. While there is a level of publicity when it comes to redevelopments of areas such as Drumchapel and that is naturally going to keep the interest in the area, there is no way to achieve social or economic richness without well-thought out and well organized built form that occurs over a period of time and act as an attractor to businesses, families or even investors.

Mitigating Topography: Toledo Hillside Escalator

Mitigating Topography: Montjuïc cable car

Physical infrastructure can be a means of facilitating social cohesion and mobility so as to balance the severance of communities caused by topographic conditions. Toledo, Spain offers an example of a series of covered escalators on a hillside that facilitate the access into the city from topographically lower adjacent areas. This hillside escalator essentially acts as a gateway into the historic quarter of Toledo and the green roof of its covered structure is a natural continuation of the hill (Inspiration Detail, 2017). The escalator articulated into six zig-zag segments, it is 100m long and covers a vertical change of level of 36m (Cardiff University, 2017).

Topographic challenges can also be overcome through transportation detached from the physical terrain. Infrastructural solutions such as a cable car system allow transportation to surmount limitations of the geographic condition. In addition to being an effective means of transport to the top of the Montjuïc hill and castle, this cable car system also doubles as a tourist attraction offering panoramic views over Barcelona (TMB, 2017). The length of the line is 750m and it covers a vertical change of level of 85m at 2.5 m/s.

Green Space Challenge: Awaji Yumebutai Complex

Car-free District: Vauban, Freiburg, Germany

Tadao Ando’s Awaji Yumebutai Complex featues a 100-step garden built on the side of a mountain. This natural setting has been scarred as soil from the hill has previously been excavated and used to build artificial islands in Osaka for the international airport (Yumebutai, 2017). Hence, Ando’s proposal was to remediate the place through the creation of a park there that would re-establish the natural habitat in the area. Although an earthquake impacted the initial plans, a memorial garden, among other things, was still constructed on the hill. The 100 flower beds lay on different levels up the hill, there is stair access to each individual flower bed, as well as 10-meter wide main access stair to the top. For additional ease of access, there is also a free-standing lift that takes visitors to a viewing platform at the top of the complex.

Through strategic transport and land-use policies, Freiburg’s municipal bodies overcome barriers related to political and institutional severance of its peripheric districts. Although that transport-land-use coordination has not been an easy process, the municipality has devised methods that satisfy the requirements of smaller transit providers in the region. Contracts guaranteeing that companies would receive a certain amount of annual revenue protect them from the unappealing financial risks of joining the regional transit network (Buehler and Pucher, 2011). In order to stimulate a car-free district, residents in the development who own cars are in fact not allowed to park them in front of their dwellings but rather in specifically allocated areas. The ownership of a car is also a strictly regulated procedure; however, every car-free local citizen is eligible for a free pass for all forms of public transport in the city which further promotes the use of public transport (Coates, 2013).

Glasgow City Development Plan

GCC Initiative GCC’s City Development Plan lays out the strategic framework of planned urban growth for Glasgow and its conurbation. The main aspiration is to further develop Glasgow in four key directions: economic growth, sustainable development, connectivity and resilience. Within the strategic plan, Drumchapel is already envisioned as a centre in the metropolitan network (see map on the right). •

Vibrant Place

This objective is regarded through the prism of economic development achieved through diversifying employment in sectors such as retail, financial, business, higher education and tourism. Furthermore, the river Clyde is also considered key in developing waterfront activities and driving mixed use regeneration. The local creative industry is also an integral part of the economic growth with a focus on universities, cultural industries, research and manufacture. •

Sustainable Place

The healthy growth of Glasgow’s diverse population is to be reinforced through a process of place-making through design. Carefully planned mix and density of land uses is meant to stimulate street life and activities while still considering issues of maintenance and management at early design stages. Glasgow’s environment also strives to foster the healthy living and well-being of its inhabitants. Additionally, the quality and access to residential amenities is set a bench-mark of safety and inclusion. Provision of renewable resources is also given priority.

Stakeholders

Figure I-06 Relationships of Glasgow City Development Plan (GCC, 2016a: 5) •

Connected Place

The main purpose of this strategic focus is to ensure the ability to move and do business in the city. The improvement of public transport and infrastructure is a key facilitator in that process. The resulting decrease in non-essential car use then ensures a safer environment for cyclists and pedestrians. Additionally, the plan aims that all new development are strategically located within adequate access to sustainable resources. All town centres within Glasgow’s metropolitan area are to be inter-connected through public transport that ensures access to a variety of shops, services and community facilities for everyone. On a digital level, connectivity facilitates business flexibility and mobile working while also creating conditions suitable for innovation.

Green Place

An aspiration for resilience, attractiveness and accessibility drive the focus of this strategic objective. The green belt areas are to be protected, further developed and, where necessary, regenerated. The development of vacant and derelict land is also a high priority as a means of contributing to environmental quality. Additionally, continuity of the urban environment is also to be ensured through linking open space and prioritising pedestrian and cycling routes. Biodiversity, geodiversity and waterways such as rivers, canals and burns also are to be enhanced and protected so as to improve the quality of city living through engagement in activities related to nature. Reinforcing the character of established monuments and landmarks as well as enhancing less know historic assets is another way of using Glasgow’s heritage to its full potential.

Resilient Glasgow

GCC Initiative Glasgow joined the “100 Resilient Cities” network in 2014 as part of an initiative by the Rockefeller Foundation that aims to develop urban resilience through strategic management of the contemporary physical, social and economic challenges (ARUP, 2014, Resilient Glasgow, 2014). There are four main directions of development: • Health and Wellbeing o Meets Basic Needs o Livelihoods and Employment o Ensures Public Health Services • Economy and Society o Cohesive and Engaged Communities o Social Stability, Security and Justice o Economic Prosperity • Infrastructure and Environment o Protective Natural & Man-Made Assets o Continuity of Critical Services o Reliable Communication and Mobility • Leadership and Strategy o Effective Management o Broad Range of Stakeholders o Long-Term and Integrated Planning This initiative is based on a multi-agency approach that seeks to establish resilience through collaboration between the public sector, the private sector, voluntary organisations and local communities. As a city largely impacted by post-industrial economic stress, Glasgow strives to use its economic, environmental and social advantages to their best potential.

Stakeholders

Figure I-08 What is City Resilience? (Resilient Glasgow, 2014: 7)

The Resilient Glasgow Strategy rests upon four main pillars: • Empower Glaswegians • Unlock Place-Based Solutions • Innovate to Support Fair Economic Growth • Foster Civic Participation Glasgow, through the prism of a resilient city, is imagined as reflective, robust, efficient, flexible, resourceful, inclusive and integrated. The strategy towards engagement of local communities includes face-to-face conversations, targeted workshops and on-line surveys. Partnerships and placebased solutions aim to reinforce the economic growth and reduce the inequality gap through agile work opportunities.

PROBLEM

Problems and Solutions The overarching objectives laid out by Glasgow City Council acknowledge the urgency and necessity to act upon issues related to connectivity and infrastructure, as well as sustainability and well-being which collectively are quite pertinent to the situation in Drumchapel. The way forward for Drumchapel would be to set specific priorities for the area as well as detailed spatially bound proposals for development. Drumchapel is certainly facing many challenges, yet they also carry hidden potential that can be unravelled through design and considerate planning.

SOLUTION

The biodiversity and variety of natural forms is an open invitation to create vibrant green space for public recreation where topography can be used to the advantage of the urban realm. Climatic challenges such as the high flood risk of certain areas can be turned into solutions that add value as urban activators while new tourist attractions that double as means of transportation can bring visitors outside the areas. The open land available for development also carries vast potential for the mixed-use projects that tie existing areas currently in segregation. The primary driver for all changes, however, must remain the benefit of the local population, hence design solutions have to be based on their needs.

WHO? WHEN?

HOW?

The collaboration between the city council and the locals needs to be carefully programmed with all details transparent to the public where potential investors and interested parties are wisely selected for each project. High quality service is of fundamental importance for the benefit of the people so the focus should be on detailing a strategy specifically for Drumchapel, yet considering its wider context.

II. STRATEGY The purpose of the following strategic framework is to address the problems identified in the first chapter and strategically match them to potential solutions that fit the social, environmental and economic context of Drumchapel. This strategic plan lays the directions of development of the areas as connected, sustainable, inclusive, desirable place to live for residents and an attractive location for visitors. The actions and policies recommended are informed by the overarching Glasgow City Development Plan yet propose solutions specific to Drumchapel that take into account the complexity of the district, as well as its wider urban context.

Drumchapel

In the previous chapter we looked at the issues affecting the area of study at present and the analysis of the current concept plan. In this chapter, we aim to synthesise these issues and the lessons learned into a coherent strategy for the redevelopment of Drumchapel. To these ends we pose 5 questions: 1. What will the study area look like in 30 years’ time – what is the vision? 2. What are the leading factors that will shape this transformation, what are the main themes for change? 3. What activities and projects need to be implemented to generate the transformation we envisage and who is responsible? What are the interventions? 4. What is the spatial side of such change – what is the concept plan. 5. How do we ensure the work supports rather than inhibits the self-organising processes in the local community? In addition to these considerations we have undertaken a SWOT analysis to identify Areas of Action and Project opportunities. In the final analysis we have produced a timeline of intervention to affect change over a period of 30 years.

These contacts form the weave of the fabric of a local community because they build the trust and confidence necessary for the exercise of internal controls’ David Page Building for Communities

Booklet no.9: Group 4: 4D Vision

SWOT Analysis Strengths

1. The economic adversity and the lack of mobility in the area has amounted to strong sense of community and territoriality amongst the residents of Drumchapel. In the view of the locals the area should be revitalized and not liquidated. 2. Because if its proximity to it, Drumchapel can be seen as a gateway to the Antonine wall and an important historical area. 3. Drumchapel is also encompassed by green areas- Green belt and woodland, which could be seen as a great condition for achieving a high level of biodiversity. 4. The topography of Drumchapel provides beautiful views from â&#x20AC;&#x153;up the hillâ&#x20AC;? and from Linkwood across the city. 5. The proximity of Drumchapel to the Fourth and Clyde can be of interest to tourists.

Drumchapel

Opportunities

1. Putting an emphasis on Drumchapelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s historic past and the landmarks that are still present- the Antonine wall and the Fourth and Clyde canal, is likely to generate more interest in the area and might turn Drumchapel into an important educational destination. 2. There is also an opportunity to further strengthen the sense of pride of the local population by better integrating community buildings and important historic buildings. 3. The proximity to the Forth and Clyde canal provides opportunity for a variety of leisure activities and can also act as impetus for regeneration by living in, on or around the water. 4. Overcoming the barriers that now exist between neighbourhoods is going to result in better permeability. 5. Introducing a gateway to the North, South, East and West could provide better connection to and within the area.

6.. Some of the open green spaces have the potential to be used as leisure destination and can promote healthier lifestyle and physical activity. 7. Introducing a new transport hub such as a bus station might ease the movement of people within the area and even improve the connection between Drumchapel and the city center. 8. An increase in the quality and quantity of local amenities and creating an environment that might attract more retailers of different scale, could help create a more self-sufficient community. 9. Breaking the skyline with some memorable or iconic buildings would increase the areas imageability. 10. Creating a well-defined pathway between the train station and Drumchapelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s center could make the area easier to navigate and more inviting.

Booklet no.9: Group 4: 4D Vision

Weaknesses

1. The railway station in Drumchapel is located on the periphery and there isn’t a clear connection with the “center of gravity” of the area. 2. Even though there are four bus survives operating in the area, there are still some peripheral neighborhoods that are harder to reach. 3. The connectivity problems are further perpetuated by the barriers- both natural and manmade, that exist between neighborhoods. Vast open spaces, topography, poorly placed buildings and roads taking the path of least resistance, make some parts of Drumchapel very difficult and inconvenient to access. 4. The lack of provision of services within the different neighborhoods makes people more car or public transport dependent when they are trying to meet their everyday needs. 5. There’s a serious lack of medium and small retailers dispersed in Drumchapel which makes the shopping center and the retail park the main service providers in the area. 6. A lot of the buildings that are important to the community or are considered to be of architectural value such as churches or listed buildings, are hidden away in highly defensible plots behind palisade fence or hedges and trees that obstruct visibility.

7. Drumchapel has a continuously declining population with numbers going as low as 12, 714 in 2015. So far this has led to the closure of many local amenities because of the lack of footfall. 8. The majority of the population in Drumchapel is comprised of young children and the percentage of single-parent households is the staggering 55% compared to 8% in Glasgow. There is a lack of social diversity. 9. There is also a lack of ethnical diversity due to the low number of residents representing minorities. 10. Street connectivity within Drumchapel is very weak. Same can be said about its connections to surrounding areas. 11. Streets are designed with mostly cap-focused approach. 12. There is a lack of easily accessible and straightforward NorthSouth and East- West connection. 13. Drumchapel experiences high level of noise pollution due to its proximity to the airport.

Drumchapel

Threats

1. The soil conditions create difficulty in Drumchapel. The type of soil in some of the areas suggest only low-rise buildings and can slow down the construction of new roads due to the higher cost of the required thicker layer of capping. 2. Drumchapel was heavily mined and ground instabilities are to be expected. This past activity hints at the presence of an extensive network of underground tunnels which have already created issues in past developments. 3. Some areas of Drumchapel, particularly to the north are at risk of flooding and this can affect any future development.

4D Vision: Drumchapel 2051

Drumchapel is a thriving community of 25,000 people. It has a town centre that is very popular with the local inhabitants where they live, work, and play and where they also avail themselves of the local shops and public services. It is a place with a broad mix of house types and tenures and this adds diversity to the community. The town centre is a vibrant and memorable place which has pleasant external public spaces where the locals linger, it is a place where the old and young can interact and where life is the backdrop. It is a walkable neighbourhood that is well connected to its satellite neighbourhoods with streets that are tree lined and which are easy and safe to cross. The Antonine Park which wraps around the area is a place that attract locals of all ages during the week and at weekends for walking and cycling. The park also attracts folk from further afield that have cycled the canal path and have turned into Drumchapel from Lock 32 on the canal to visit the Antonine Visitor Centre. From the centre of town, it is a pleasant 3-minute walk along the new High Street to the local transport hub where you can catch a train every 10 minutes in to town or avail yourself of the the Express Bus Rapid Transport which follows a direct route along Great Western Road, stopping at Annniesland Cross, Gartnaval Hospital, the West End, St Georgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cross and finally Buchanan St Bus Station. The new transport hub has allowed the High St with

independent,small retailers and public service providers to flourish by stimulating footfall and activity along its length. 5 Years ago, the new Glasgow Tram Network reached Anniesland Cross and now the final phase of an extension to the west to accommodate this growing neighbourhood is nearing completion. Hoardings around the site of the new modal transport interchange are being erected. The BRT system which is gradually being phased out provided much of the necessary infrastructure to support the construction of the new tram line. House prices in the area have been buoyant and have raised land values such that Edrington Ltd who own the vast industrial complex on Duntreath Av have commissioned a report on the phased decant of their premises to allow the construction of a further 500 housing units. The inhabitants are happier & healthier because the ease of access to the surrounding countryside and the quality of their external public spaces which are sustainable, accessible and safe and which provide leisure and recreational opportunities.Their houses are warm and cheap to heat and there is a neighbourly atmosphere reminiscent of early Drumchapel or of the communities the original tenants left behind in the 1950â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.

4D Vision Statement ‘Intricate mingling of different uses are not a form of chaos. On the contrary, they represent a complex and highly developed form of order’

Strategy

Vision: Our vision for Drumchapel is that for which it was originally envisaged but never achieved: a semi-autonomous township. To this very direct aim, we look to build on the strong community spirit borne from economic adversity which has created an especially strong sense of identity and territoriality. We therefore take our cues from local people. In the views of local people, the area should be re-vitalised and not liquidated. We look to recreate an area that is sustainable, connected, liveable, diverse, thriving, healthy and resilient - walkable neighbourhoods. A town centre that is the focus of community life with a density of population to support and sustain a viable district. Most importantly, perhaps we aim to ameliorate the very considerable health inequalities both in terms of life outcomes and life expectancy. In order to achieve these aims we look to strategise 4 broad aims. Green space, Green Networks & Heritage The vision considers this strong desire and the strategy looks to build on the area’s positive aspects: the green open space internally and encompassed by green space around its northern periphery. We look to the considerable untapped heritage value of The Antonine wall and its designation as a UNESCO World Heritage site as a driver generator of economic activity as well as opportunities for education and health. We consider that hitherto the wall’s potential as an attractor has not been exploited to increase visitor numbers to the area from Glasgow and beyond. Exposing heritage this way creates an inter-generational equity from the value of historic places. In tandem with this we look to re-conceptualise the relationship between the peripheral urban edge and the agricultural hinterland. The Forth and Clyde canal which skirts the south-west flank of the area provides a valuable green corridor which should be exploited as a conduit from

Jane Jacobs, The Death and Life of Great American Cities

the wider city -reinforced and stronger connections made with the greens spaces internally. We aim to connect this new node via a green corridor to the northern area of the district with a new attractor. Finally, the interstitial ambiguous and negative green spaces re-imagined providing defined & positive green and public spaces for the area. Built form - and Street Networks and Heart of Drumchapel There is an overwhelming feeling that Drumchapel lack a proper town centre. The current shopping centre provides a limited number of shops and services but lacks the special clarity and legibility that a thriving town provides. There is also very low density in the central and adjacent areas. We aim to introduce a new heart of the town which is vibrant and diverse with local shops and services that people are attracted to using with public spaces that are pleasant and useable. We look to providing attractive places for people to live in the central district which will allow it to be sustained. We look to establish a series of neighbourhood nodes, which are connected to the district heart. The road network, which follows the path of least resistance circumventing the transverse crossing of the local system of drumlins creates unnecessary extra distance between neighbourhoods and there is severance of the network along the train line and at various points within the district. We aim to re-establish and strengthen routes north-south and eastwest and to begin to address the disconnection long the train lines. We look to reconnecting neighbourhoods that were previously disconnected and re-connecting and reinforcing established connections to existing adjacent districts. Industrial & Retail ‘Voids’, Transport Links and Hub We consider the area which houses the large urban sheds of Erdington & Great Western Retail Park to be an important site within the strategic thinking of the overall area. The industrial and retail built forms which completely sever

Drumchapel

the south west of the district from the main body of Drumchapel require creative interventions that will repair the road network, introduce new connections across the train line and create active frontages and uses where there is a more useful urban exchange. There are also opportunities to increase the granularity of the urban shed form through the process of sprawl repair. At present, they are voids, black holes if you will, which disconnect the district form the rest of the city. We see the repair of this zone as a more long-term proposition which will only come about if the popularity of the area increases and thus the value of land in these areas increases. As we see it, the location of the existing train station is crucial to the future of the area. In line with current planning policy we propose moving the station to a more central location on Duntreath Av. We therefore re-conceptualise the space between the station and the current shopping centre as a linear node and thus capitalise on the excellent train service between Drumchapel and Glasgow city centre. In the meanwhile, we propose introduction of better connected bus- rail service and better more legible environment at the modal transfer. We propose BRT to take advantage of the long, relatively straight route along Great Western Road to the West End and points further east and to introduce redundancy into the transport system. We propose an express service which stops at Anniesland Cross, Gartnaval Hospital, West End, St George’s Cross, Buchanan St Bus Station. Ultimately, we would like to see the area connected to the rest of the city with a dedicated tram link, however, this like the industrial and retail voids are part of the longer-term thinking.

Critical Line

Time Figure II-04 Critical Quality Diagram , by Klas Tham based on (Scotland, 2014)

“Klas Tham, lead designer and programme co-ordinator of Bo 01 in Malmo Sweden, speaks also passionately about the need to embed quality in the design process. His Quality / Time model (Fig II 07 above) illustrates that with an initial investment in quality, development sits above a critical ‘quality’ line. Happy residents are invested in the upkeep of their place, the place thrives, and the value of the development grows over time. With development below the critical line, people still move in, but are less inclined to invest in upkeep and over time decline sets in. At some point, major investment will be required to regenerate, however, it will not be possible to bring it up over the critical line and over time, the same problems will arise again. This can lead to major financial implications for local authorities/ governments. This argument was presented to the City of Malmö in preparation for the Bo01 expo to convince them of the need to set a threshold for design quality.” Extract from “Architecture + Design Scotland- What does good leadership look like?: Lessons from Bo 01, Sweden” (Scotland, 2014)

“The urgent conversion of society to long term sustainability will only be possible when the sustainable alternative is regarded not only as the wisest, but also as the most attractive one…The prevailing quantitative standards for environmental sustainability, such as saving energy are necessary, but insufficient…It will not be until people’s aesthetic, emotional and social needs are also met that the sustainable society can be attained” (Bo01 City of Tomorrow, Klas Tham)

Why it matters..... Define the problem better to extract better solutions The population of Drumchapel is 12648 – a reduction of around 800 people from 2001. Approximately 25% of local people are under 16 years of age in comparison to Glasgow as whole where they account for 16% of the population but has one of the highest child poverty rates in the city at 48%. There are proportionally fewer people aged 16-64 years old in Drumchapel than in the wider city area- 64% compared to 70% and 12% of residents are aged 65 or older compared to 14% city wide. The local area is also less diverse than the rest of the city with 55 being from an ethnic background compared to 115 across the city. 6% of people were born abroad in comparison to 12% in the city. Female and male life expectancy are slightly lower than the Glasgow average but there can be a disparity of as much as 10 years between Drumchapel and its more affluent neighbour Bearsden in East Dunbartonshire. 20% of households in Drumchapel are made up of one parent families and the area has a relatively low employment rate, with a smaller proportion of students and retired people in comparison to the rest of the city. In addition, there are relatively more local people 15% who are disabled or have a long-term illness than in the wider city district. Based on these statistics, there are clearly challenges which need to be addressed in the strategy as well as the spatial issues which have been documented and analysed previously.

Green Space, Green Networks & Heritage Strategy One of the most striking aspects of Drumchapel is its natural landscape setting. The area is encompassed by agricultural green belt, woodlands and watercourses which define 180 degrees of the area’s northern periphery. Within the area there are huge swathes of green space, some of which have a negative or undefined function. The green areas surrounding the district feel disconnected from the streets and connections and paths within these areas are weak. There are a number of steep grassed, south facing banks. Within the green belt area to the north lies the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Antonine Wall and the remains of a Roman fortress. To the south-eastern flank lies the Forth and Clyde Canal – a green corridor which provides a green corridor to the area from the wider environs of the city.

“The first necessity in understanding how cities and their parks influence each other is to jettison confusion between real uses and mythical uses-for example. the science-fiction nonsense that parks are “the lungs of the city.” It takes about three acres of woods to absorb as much carbon dioxide as four people exude in breathing, cooking and heating. The oceans of air circulating about us, not parks., keep cities from suffocating. ‘ Jane Jacobs – The Death and Life of Great American Cities

Stakeholders

We aim to re-conceptualise these space to better exploit their positive aspects for leisure and amenity educational and environmental value, to integrate them better into the town and to make them more productive, legible and used. And , in addition, to integrate them more fully into the citywide green network. We look to collaborate with local and national stakeholders to achieve these changes.

Woodlands , Cycling , Canal & Neighbourhood Strategy

Figure II-14 Green Corridors and networks (Rogers, 1999)

At present the Green Networks in the area are simply not networks. While the woodland paths have designated cycle ways they do not intersect or operate together in a meaningful way with the rest of the district -for the residents, locals or tourists. We propose to connect the walking and cycling paths to the wider area through a network of green corridors which connect not only the woodlands area but also the proposed newtwork of new green nodes located within each neighbourhood. The main conduit form the rest of the city will be via the canal node at lock . For this we take our cues form the current masterplan to develop the canal at Bowling in Dumbartonshire lead by Scottish Canals:

Figure II-12 Woodland walk - existing (Commission, n.d.)

Figure II-13 Woodland walk - flora, fauna,heritage (Commission, n.d.)

“Over recent years, we have been breathing new life into Bowling Harbour, developing a new tourism and leisure destination fitting of the western gateway to the Forth & Clyde Canal. Together with the local community and project partners, we’ve developed a shared vision to help safeguard Bowling Harbour’s rich heritage and build for its future. This is now captured in our approved masterplan for the area which forms the blueprint for the area’s future and regeneration plans. Since 2014 we have collectively invested more than £3.2 million in the area, which has included the transformation of disused railway arches into commercial business space and public realm improvements to the lower basin area. We are very pleased to see the completion of the latest phase of this work and look forward to welcoming more new businesses into the area, strengthening Bowling Harbour as a vibrant tourism destination. This exhibition outlines our collaborative work over recent years and illustrates the next planned stages of development, bringing further investment, employment opportunities and vibrancy to Bowling. We look forward to working with you as we continue to transform our vision into a reality.” Bowling Harbour Masterplan , Scottish Canals

Strategy

The presence of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Antonine Wall Within the green belt area to the north represents a huge opportunity for Drumchapel.

Figure II-21 Irish Cultural Centre , City of Derry (Tuomey, 2009)

And while the Antonine wall stretches 37 miles across central Scotland there exists the opportunity for Drumchapel to recast itself as the Gateway to the Wall. The current path network exists only to service the existing woodland areas and does not extend to the wall and fortress. We feel this is a missed opportunity that could be rectified by extending the path and cycle network to these important heritage areas. Not only does the network require extended but we also propose that along the linear path through the park nodes are created which reinforce the destination and progression through. We propose that the junction at Lock 32 on the canal becomes a node and gateway to the Antonine park. This could act as a natural pausing point for walkers and cyclists. Further we propose that a visitor centre for the wall is located at the north as a punctual stop en-route around the park.

Environmental Approach Strategy

Northmuir Community Garden, Drumchapel Northmuir Community Garden is an excellent example of the City Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Stalled spaces at work. A space which has taken over a small corner of the local neighbourhood, on a piece of dis-used land. Raised bed planters have been constructed and provide a means for growing fruit, vegetables and flowers for the local community. In addition, the garden is a focus for community interaction and celebration with many different events occurring on a monthly basis.

A main focus of the strategy is ensuring the introduction of environmentally sustainable systems in Drumchapel that are going to enhance the green network of the area and will strengthen the sense of ownership and pride among the local population. A step towards achieving this would be the implementation of the rain water collection idea. In most cases, rainwater pours down into the drainage system and ends up being wasted, however, it is a resource that can easily be redirected and used for watering vegetation or supporting a community garden. Incorporating community gardening into the strategy is going to help promote self-sufficiency in Drumchapel and might help strengthen the sense of pride among the population. Any new housing developments need to adopt a more sustainable approach when it comes to water disposal. A community biomass boiler is going to be used to heat the water used on site. The gray water that is produced by each household is going to be stored on site and used for serving as flushing water in bathrooms. This means that gray water is going to be turning into black and in return, the black water is going to be used in three different ways. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be used to fertilize community gardens, part of it is going to be redirected towards the Green belt and any excess is going to be redirected for purification. A community biomass boiler is going to be used to heat the water used on site.

Drumchapel

Awkward and Steep! There are many instances within the local district where there are green unused, neglected or unproductive space that have remained so because they are steep and inaccessible. In many cases, though they are south facing and offer the potential to be reimagined for the production of food. An interesting precedent that might serve-albeit with some adaptations- is the Awaji Memorial Garden in Japan by Tadao Ando which makes a virtue of its steeply sloping south-facing site. The garden consists of square raised planting bed and accessible walkway with stair. Each bed is planted out with a different species and provides an astonishing display of flowers and produce. The principle could be adapted for Drumchapel with each bed a module which could be added to a steeply sloping site as and when funds are available. The module could consist of a growing bed or contain attenuation tanks of water stored from run off from higher levels and used for irrigation.

Urban Transect

Strategy “The urban-to-rural transect is an urban planning model created by New Urbanist Andrés Dunay. The transect defines a series of zones that transition from sparse rural farmhouses to the dense urban core. Each zone is fractal in that it contains a similar transition from the edge to the centre of the neighbourhood. The transect is an important part of the New Urbanism and smart growth movements. Duany’s firm DPZ has embodied the transect philosophy into their SmartCode generic planning code for municipal ordinances. The importance of transect planning is particularly seen as a contrast to modern Euclidean zoning and suburban development. In these patterns, large areas are dedicated to a single purpose, such as housing, offices, shopping, and they can only be accessed via major roads. The transect, by contrast, decreases the necessity for long-distance travel by any means.” The urban transect is a useful device for assessing the heterogeneity of the urban landscape – while prohibiting mono-cultures of any individual transect zone. Further the concepts of Duany’s Extra-Urban Agriculture

Figure II-27 The Urban Transect (DPZ, n.d.)

Figure II-26 Subculture Boundary - A Pattern Language (Alexander, 1977)

and Intra- Urban Agriculture give us the tools and means by which the meniscus between the city edge and the agrarian hinterland can be blurred (between Transect 2 and 3) for the better-providing a variety of ways for different scales of agriculture to plug into the urban fabric. In the case of Extra- Urban Agriculture this maintains open views into the agrarian lands and allows an economic and social interchange between the active agricultural lands and the town. Intra- Urban (between Transect 4 and 5) agriculture shows us the places where the interstitial pockets of land can be exploited for growing and food production.

Sprawl Repair

Industrial Shed & Retail Voids Transport Links & Hub Strategy

Figure II-36 Proposed Hierarchy of Roads Access GSPublisherVersion 0.50.100.100

While there are many attendant issues in Drumchapel, the elephant in the room for the most of its south-west corner are issues of impermeable specialist spaces, namely The Edrington Group’s whisky bottling plant and The Great Western Retail Park. For historic reasons, there has been an industrial presence at the Edrington Site (which also included a biscuit factory at one point) for well over 100 years-and while there are histories and memories associated with the site that are valuable, the site, in conjunction with the retail park and train line, severs a large section of the district. The retail park which is adjacent – across the train line offers us a double whammy of severance both from Great Western Road and Duntreath Avenue. This site too has historical associations, housing as it once did The Goodyear Tyre factory which closed in the late 1970’s. These 2 sites, however, have quite different arrangements – the Edrington site has a secure perimeter along the entirety of it’s boundary with a tall palisade fence, while the retail park is by necessity, more permeable but no less a barrier to the legibility and comprehensibility of the district. Our strategic move of shifting the train station to the intersection of Duntreath Av and reimagining a linear node High Street poses some intriguing questions about how these 2 specialist spaces could be reimagined.

Figure II-34 Sprawl repair industry- before (DPZ, n.d.)

In this respect, we look to Duany’s sprawl repair kit which proposes the increase in granularity of specialist sites with buildings that form blocks with activated frontages. This could be applied more readily to the retail park site due to the more dispersed nature of its sprawl. The Edrington site, which is an agglomeration of sheds which touching each other is a more difficult proposition but could nevertheless less become re-connected back to the main body of the district by the same means. While the principal of sprawl repair is a sound one, there are certainly barriers to achieving this in the short-term. We therefore consider both these principal actions as long-term endeavours, requiring the area to be more stable, more popular and more resilient in terms of employment. It is only at this point where increasing land values make the proposition viable and attractive to the stakeholders and actors associated with the sites and where they can see an added value to the repair.

1. Social

1A: Control Population Leakage: Make Drumchapel more attractive for the existing population by: • Investing in external spaces turning those AMBIGUOUS/NEGATIVE/NON-DEFENSIBLE open spaces into CLEARLY DEFINED/ POSITIVE/ DEFENSIBLE spaces, augmenting the leisure and utility aspects of green and wooded areas. To RECONCEPTUALISE existing underused spaces • Creating a new HEART of Drumchapel in which a range of services can be more easily accessed, a better selection of shops is available, less dispersed. • Better transport access at all TIMES to city centre • Better job opportunities for those existing residents • Less segregation of single parent families especially mums • A better place in which to grow a family- facilities better directed and located 1B: Improve Wellbeing Improve life expectancy, life outcomes & wellbeing. Promote healthier living while aiming for HEALTH EQUITY WITH BETTER OFF AREA: • Minimise social isolation - having few social ties increases a person’s risk of dying early by 29% • Promote healthy lifestyles • Physical activity • Healthy Food • Contact with nature • Positive social contact • MAKE THESE FUNCTIONS INTEGRAL where they live, shop, go to school, are entertained 1D: Better Integration of Public Services The low level of current integration of public facilities negatively impacts the surroundings, especially schools. Nearly all community buildings are defensive rather than defensible. • All facilities planned to be in the right places with the right architectural and urban articulation, especially the Community Centre • Schools need to be integrated with the urban street network better

2. Economic

1D: Community Oriented Development

2A: Effective Partnerships

Local solutions to local problems – promote a community oriented approach to redevelopment as local people are best placed to decide what is right and appropriate for their area: • DEBATE AND DECIDE rather than PREDICT AND PROVIDE • CHARETTES • Community Council – roles and responsibilities

• •

3. Environmental

1E: Promote Heritage and Tourism The richness of history & heritage in the area are not currently being exploited for the benefit of the community. Hence, the Antonine Wall and the Canal, which is mostly hidden, need to be celebrated in a more pronounced way. • A new CENTRE FOR THE ANTONINE WALL • New place to live on the CANAL perhaps • Recreational network connected via the green spaces

2. Economic

3. Environmental

2B: Introducing Diversity Increase the level of DIVERSITY of space, population, retail provision, social interaction and housing. Greater diversity of tenures required: • More Private housing • More PRS • More Private -Self Build • More Private- Self build co-operatives • Better differentiated parklands • Better ARMATURE to support retail, i.e. better town centre 2C: District and Neighbourhood Centres Development The current town centre offers only partial access to amenities and social activities. Improve connections, architectural articulation and urban realm: • Create new access roads that create conditions for centrality and ease of access • The SHOPPING centre is not necessarily a TOWN centre, therefore introduce other urban activators and public spaces to increase the quality of city living

Work towards improved collaboration within the multiagency approach with the integration of local citizens in the process. Establish a streamlined tree of responsibility for clarity and transparency of all policies.

3A: Self-sufficiency •

Improve the self-sufficiency of the area and create a township rather than a town: • Provide local services and facilities so that locals do not need to go further afield for banking, social, health and entertainment amenities. • Provide more physical/ human resources which can contribute to a more self-sustaining environment. o EDRINGTON – ENERGY o CANAL -DRAINAGE o MORTONS • Utilise opportunities to create MAGNETS to the area that take advantage of HERITAGE / INDUSTRY - create Visitor Centre/ Distillery/ Canal Living • Plan the life-cycle of Industry / Retail park which provide jobs but at the moment, yet present a physical barrier to the area creating severance. Improve the integration and role in contributing to local society and provide more to the area – energy/waste • Combined Heat & Power (CHP)/ District Heating System 3B: Better Open Space Vacant land creates an ambiguous and negative open space, therefore, focused effort need to be applied in the articulation of open space. • Improve residential green space so as to work better for the housing that is adjacent • Reconceptualised external spaces for better urban realm • High percentage of children live in the area, so introduce new play grounds • Access to the Antonine Wall through healthy walks and heritage walks

Drumchapel

4D: Time and Scale Management of Interventions

4. Infrastructural 4A: Integrated Transport System The service of the transport network in the area could be improved through the integration of different modes of transport. The railway station could be relocated so as to increase its integration into the heart of the city. Potentially, in longer term, a new tram system could be introduced for resilience of the overall system. • A tram system would be a fantastic addition, yet currently there is not enough in the way of population to justify/sustain a new piece of public transport. Longer term planning can be pursued for new infrastructure integration • REINFORCE existing transport connections ROAD/ RAIL • Improve existing bus services so as to serve the community well at all times of the day/ week • Introduce an express bus service to Glasgow via Great Western Road 4B: Networks and Connections

Each of the planned intervention has to be set within a framework of priorities over 20, 30, 50-year periods. Infrastructure and housing provision should be planned in conjunction so as to simultaneously add value to the area. • Rate interventions with a scale factor - S, M, L, XL • Introduce phasing of development • begin with areas where it makes most sense and has the biggest impact – the heart

3. Environmental

4. Infrastructural

4E: Energy, Water and Waste Management In order to increase the levels of sustainability in the area, water/ energy/ human resources need to be managed effectively for the good of the community. • Community Heating / District Heating / Heat recovery from Industry • Canal for drainage and canal water as a resource • Local water courses for drainage

Insufficient coverage of the network and limited connections impose a challenge on Drumchapel, therefore it would benefit from connections internally and to adjacent areas – Bearsden/ Clydebank/ Drumry. • Train line, Industrial areas create large swathes of severance from GWR- Requires SPRAWL REPAIR • Lack of GATEWAYS to distinguish a THRESHOLD between one area and another • Need better connection NORTH SOUTH and EAST WEST • Need better multiple connections to town centre 4C: Gateways and Thresholds The lack of clearly established threshold /gateway conditions add to the severance of neighbourhoods and the feel of defensible space. • Neighbourhoods have distinctive names and historic areas but internally suffer from a lack of distinction and nodal concentration of neighbourhood services, therefore interconnectivity should be sought • Current insufficiency of pronounces nodes decreases imageability, therefore both intersections and buildings should be articulated in a pleasant urban manner create a sense of place

The Hunterian Museum University of Glasgow • •

•

Has the finest collection of Roman antiquities in Scotland Founded in 1807, The Hunterian is Scotland’s oldest public museum and home to one of the largest collections outside the National Museums. The Hunterian is one of the leading university museums in the world and its collections have been Recognised as a Collection of National Significance. It is one of Scotland’s most important cultural assets. Built around AD 142 in the reign of the Roman emperor Antoninus Pius, the Antonine Wall ran coast-to-coast across Scotland from the Clyde to the Firth of Forth. This permanent gallery at the Hunterian Museum showcases the collection of spectacular monumental sculpture and other Roman artefacts recovered from the Wall, including richly sculptured distance slabs, unique to the frontiers of the Roman Empire. ‘The Antonine Wall: Rome’s Final Frontier’ explores the biography of this important Roman monument and through The Hunterian’s rich collections investigates four key themes: The building of the Wall, its architecture and impact on the landscape; the role of the Roman army on the frontier, the life and lifestyle of its soldiers; the cultural interaction between Roman and indigenous peoples, and evidence for local resistance; and the abandonment of the Wall and the story of its rediscovery over the last 350 years. The display also reflects the story of over three centuries of collecting and research by the University of Glasgow on the World Heritage Site.

We are grounded in communities and believe that grassroots support combined with political leadership drives real change, fast.”

III. CASE STUDIES In order to gain a better understanding of the redevelopment of Drumchapel, we compared it to other neighborhood development projects. We studied and compared them and used their most successful features as an aspiration and example of what Drumchapel might turn into after our proposed intervention. We were looking for developments that have a well-defined, easily-legible centre and strong sustainability strategy that promotes healthier relationship with nature. The treatment of public and private green spaces was a big area of interest. We were also aiming to find out what was the achieved density in these developments and the steps taken towards achieving that number. Another aspect that was considered was the cost of the developments and the timeframe of completion of the project. A useful exercise was to compare the size of the selected case study areas to the size of Drumchapel at the same scale. That gave us a better understanding of the extensiveness of the interventions we need to implement in order to achieve positive results in Drumchapel.

Bo01 was realised on a former industrial estate/port where the ground was polluted. The Bo01 district is supplied by 100% renewable energy and serves as an example for sustainable urban renewal far beyond Swedenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s borders. Bo01 represents the first step in the process of transforming the 160 hectares of industrial estate and port. When completed, the area will offer homes to 30,000 people. Despite the high density and the urban character, a great deal of attention has been given to highly diverse green spaces and biodiversity. Large numbers of trees, creeper plants, ponds and green roofs mean that every garden is home to at least 50 varieties of plants and offers food for birds. The public spaces, most of which are closed to cars, provide a range of opportunities for cycling or walking along BO01 its pleasant routes. (Urbangreenbluegrids.com, 2017)

Seaside, Florida Open spaces Seaside is an unincorporated master-planned community on the Florida panhandle in Walton County, between Panama City Beach and Destin. One of the first communities in America designed on the principles of New Urbanism. As Seaside is privately owned, the county government does not have jurisdiction over Seaside, and therefore the developers were able to write their own zoning codes. Individual housing units in Seaside are required to be different from other buildings, with designs ranging from styles such as Victorian, Neoclassical, Modern, Postmodern, and Deconstructivism.

Poundbury is an experimental new town on the outskirts of Dorchester, built to a traditional high-density urban pattern, rather than a suburban one. It creates an integrated community of shops, businesses, private and social housing. The homes are designed in traditional and new classical style with period features. Utilities are buried in common utility ducts under the town and the common areas maintenance is a responsibility of a management company to which all residents belong. The construction started in 1993 and the development is still ongoing. It is expected that the development will provide 2500 dwellings and will have a population of 6000 people.

Built Form, Street Networks & Heart Case Studies ‘The city is the place where strangers meet’ Richard Sennett, The Fall of Public Man

Figure III-01 Vauban boulevard, Freiburg

Our proposal to increase the area’s population to around 25,000 means that our ambitions for Drumchapel fall within The Urban Task Force’s description of a town or district and as such we look to the requirement of such to create a sustainable, repaired new area. We like the word ‘township’ as it has connotations of territoriality which fits with the strong ‘gallus’ community spirit. There is an overwhelming feeling that Drumchapel lack a proper town centre. The current shopping centre provides a limited number of shops and services but lacks the special clarity and legibility that a thriving town provides. We are convinced that the form and spatial configuration of the current shopping district is inhibiting the possibilities of density, movement, diversity and a lack of a centrally located facilities such as a community centre or hub. There is also very low density in the and adjacent areas. We aim to introduce a new heart of the town which is vibrant and diverse with local shops and services that people are attracted to using with public spaces that are pleasant and useable. We look to providing attractive places for people to live in the central district which will allow it to be sustained. We look to establish a series of neighbourhood nodes, which are connected to the district heart

Figure III-02 Steigereilan, Ijburg, Netherlands (Tarbutt, 2012)

In the wider district the road network, which follows the path of least resistance, circumvents the transverse crossing of the local system of drumlins creates unnecessary extra distance between neighbourhoods and there is severance of the network along the train line and at various points within the district. We aim to re-establish and strengthen routes north-south and east-west and to begin to address the disconnection long the train lines. We look to reconnecting neighbourhoods that were previously disconnected and re-connecting and reinforcing established connections to existing adjacent districts. In addition, we look to add value to the existing neighbourhoods by introducing distinct, inventive and above all popular house types which have a broad range of tenures and which are tenure blind.

Drumchapel

Drum-den or Clyde-chapel...? “Act like you own the place”... Whist we assert that the shopping centre in Drumchapel and its immediate locality do not have the necessary permeability, granularity and density to support a thriving centre, we also understand that the creation of a new centre of gravity for the area is a massive undertaking as well as a huge capital project. In the meantime, we should look to other parts of Scotland where communities have got together to help affect positive change in their respective areas. The Stove Network is an arts and community organisation which was set up with the intent of helping to regenerate the centre of Dumfries. Figure III-04 Dumfries potential (Network, 2016)

Figure III-05 Drumchapel Shopping Centre - as existing (Google, 2017)

While their motto is “Act like you own the place” they also have: 1. Run premises at 100 High Street, Dumfries as a fully accessible public arts space/facility/resource for the population of the town and the wider region 2. Supported a network that creates opportunities and connections for the creative community and integrates with our local economy and wider society 3. Worked with artists, young people, local people and groups to make public art events and activities in Dumfries 4. Built national and international connections for the arts in South West Scotland 5. Especially of interest in the context of Drumchapel is how they are going about regeneration of their High which has seen falling interest for retailers and a sharp decline in the numbers living in the centre of town. Through various local and national funding streams, they have purchased a property on the main street which is used as a café and community hub.

Figure III-06 Dumfries town living building types (Network, 2016)

Recently they launched the Midsteeple Competition which set out to envisage an innovative new approach to town centre living and being in Dumfries. The vision seeks to move to a position that is attractive for people to move back to the centre of town and which re-conceptualises space at ground level for retail and other activities. As they see it, they are not interested in attracting the large homogenised retailers but are looking to small, local independents and public service providers to get a pitch on the High St. Doctors, the NHS, Social Care and University of the West of Scotland are all envisaged as future tenants.

IV. CONCEPT PLAN: EXISTING The existing concept plan lays the groundwork for the development of a spatially-bound solutions for Drumchapel. Through a process of mapping all the levels of complexity of the urban setting, its predicaments become clearer and the relationship between them begins to crystallise. When superimposed all the layers of information reveal the gaps in density coverage or connectivity and thus indicate the areas in most urgent need of an intervention.

Street Network Hierarchy

Drumchapel

Existing The map of the existing street network indicates that Drumchapelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thoroughfare suffers from an unregulated pattern - roads are convoluted and do not facilitate fluent efficient movement through the area. Large unoccupied land interrupts Drumchapelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s urban fabric and creates big gaps in the street network which then further reduce walkability between one area to the other. The very geographic centre of Drumchapel is serving as a barrier between the north and south parts due to a lack of sufficient connections through it. Additionally, the permeability of Edrington industrial estate limits connections towards Drumry.

The railway only passes through the south side of Drumchapel, hence the existing railway station offers poor coverage of the area as it is located quite inconveniently in relation to the main public and residential areas. Although there is a number of bus lines connecting Drumchapel to the wider metropolitan area, there is only one bus line (no. 3) connecting the railway station to the rest of Drumchapel.

Ecological Network Drumchapel

Existing The existing network of green areas lacks continuity and could benefit from certain improvements so as to ensure better walkability, in particular through the Garscadden park as a shortcut between Drumchapelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s north and south sides. The variety of natural forms in Drumchapel offers a range of opportunities for urban landscaping â&#x20AC;&#x201C; water features such as Garscadden Burn, Yoker Burn and Forth & Clyde Canal, albeit not currently used to their best potential, could become vibrant landscape environments. Additionally, the Antonine Wall, a UNESCO world heritage site, could also be further developed as a recreational linear park that celebrates the history of the Roman Empire.

The Impact of Topography

Drumchapel

Existing Drumchapelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s topography is extremely varied which has an influence on how its street network has been laid out. The south-east side lays low while higher grounds line its northern edge. Additionally, Garscadden Burn runs in the valley cutting through the middle of Drumchapel. While the hills in the north-west part of Drumchapel are relatively built-up, the valley has been left undeveloped and currently acts as a public park. Due to the challenging steep slopes, currently there are no connections across the valley. Consequently, for more than 1 km, it acts as a natural barrier between north and south Drumchapel. As a result of that, the area west of it is interconnected and has denser urban fabric, while the north is relatively isolated and undeveloped. Water Area

Before any calculations or analysis, a simple glance at the aggregation of built form in Drumchapel is evidence sufficient to conclude that density within the area is low. The sparse coverage of built-up area leaves large gaps of vacant derelict land which inevitably predisposes the area to poor urban living with limited walkability. When compared to the urban fabric of the city centre or the West End, Drumchap-

elâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unregulated pattern stands out as discontinuous and fragmented. The pronounced difference in pattern, fabric density and block size leave Drumchapel at a disadvantaged position and a less desirable place to choose for living or working. The lack of diversity of services integrated with the built form further decrease this negative tendency.

Density Calculations The density of units per hectare is calculated on the basis of OS data acquired from EDINA’s Digimap, the data was then verified and adjusted where necessary (e.g. manual removal of the demolished tower block). The analysis of this information was then performed in QGIS following these steps. The OS layer carries information about the area of each building, as well as relative heights to the base and top of the roof. This information is then used to create an additional data attribute that calculates the volume of each building (area multiplied by height, for the purposes of these calculation, the relative height to the base of the roof is used). Following from the volume, another attribute is created so as to calculate how many units fit within it (the volume of one unit is considered as 300m3, hence the number of units in a building is calculated dividing its volume by 300). Once buildings have volume and units attributes, their layer is duplicated and the buildings are reduced to their centroids. Then, a hexagonal grid is created and overlaid where the area of each hexagon is 1 ha. The number of units contained within each building’s centroid is then added up within each hexagon.

OS Data Input: Building Heights Layer

+ OS Data Derivative: Buildings’ Centroids

Hexagonal Grid: 1 hexagon = 1ha

Therefore, the number shown on each hexagon represents how many units are currently present in that 1 ha.

Data Overlay: Units Count per Hexagon OS Data Input: 1. Relative Height 2. Building Footprint Area OS Data Derivatives: 1. Centroids 2. Volumes = Area x Height 3. Units = Volume / 300m3

Measures the amount of connections a segment has along the shortest path. High closeness amounts to a large number of connections within a short distance and reveals the structural density of the urban layout.

Straightness Centrality

In most basic terms a “central” place is “a place that is close to all others” (Porta, Romice 2017: 3). When it comes to a complex system such as the city, there is, however, more intricacy and complexity in the hierarchical comparison between individual places. In order to assess centrality, the city is viewed as an Urban Street Network, where streets form the “edges”, or the connecting parts of the network, and their intersections form “nodes”. Centrality represents the value assigned to each node through a mathematical computation of its distance to all other points. The formula for this computation depends on the “index”, or the “definition”, of centrality. When analysing Urban Street Networks, three indices of centrality are used: Betweenness Centrality, Closeness Centrality and Straightness Centrality. Furthermore, centrality can be calculated globally, i.e. with reference to all nodes within the system, or locally, i.e. with reference to nodes within a set boundary. The existing vehicular and pedestrian networks were generated in QGIS by updating an existing OS street network map of Scotland completed with information recorded during site surveys. When constructing the network, the central line of streets and paths was taken as reference. It should be noted that the cropping might have resulted in deviations in the centrality values along the edges of the network. The resulting maps were input into Multiple Centrality Assessment (MCA) software which measures centrality by calculating the centrality index for each node based on a mathematical formula. The results are then graphically represented through a colour ramp (gradient), where red indicates the highest levels of centrality and blue – the lowest levels.

Measures the accessibility of a node by comparing its actual distance to other nodes with the shortest linear path. High straightness translates into many direct routes and easier navigation between individual nodes (e.g. grid patterns).

Density of Units Drumchapel

Existing As expected, low units density is evident in the analysis. With the exception of the two tower blocks at the geographic centre of Drumchapel which appear moderately dense, the rest of the built-up area tends to show very low densities. Vacant land also marks big â&#x20AC;&#x153;holesâ&#x20AC;? in the urban fabric. The large portion of industrial facilities at the south-west side further reduces the opportunities for urban density.

Relationship Between Density and Centrality

Drumchapel

Existing

The Antonine Road

The analysis of network centrality shows potential for some streets to serve as important intermediary links in the area. However, the high betweenness centrality of those is not matched with a density that would allow to harness their full urban potential as connectors. For example, the Antoine Road appears to be a very important intermediary coming from Drumry, yet the density of the buildings that line it is at the bottom of the very low 0-45units/ha band. Ladyloan Avenue, another highly central connection runs through a stretch of vacant land.

Closeness Centrality

Multiple Centrality Assessment

On a neighbourhood scale, only two areas have relatively high closeness centrality: the residential area north-west of Drumchapel Park, especially along Fettercairn Avenue; and to a lesser scale - the residential development locked between Linkwood and Kinfaus Dr. Both of those areas have been recently developed and have a denser street network and smaller plot sizes. Long streets with few intersections such as Ladyloan Ave in the north, Glenkirk Dr and the eastern portion of Kinfaus Dr have very low closeness centrality. This renders whole areas in the east of the neighbourhood isolated and hard to reach within a walking distance.

Existing Betweenness Centrality Drumchapel is accessed through Great Western Road, which is one of the chief intermediaries within the Glasgow Metropolitan Area. Thus, the streets branching out of it (Duntreath Ave/ Kinfauns Dr, Antonine Rd, Garscadden Rd, etc.) also have high betweenness centrality. Together with Drumchapel Rd, which is the main artery connecting Drumchapel to Bearsden, they form the backbone of the district. While the east-west axes work well, the fact that there is just one north-south axis and it is in the western part of the neighbourhood means that the north-east and south-east areas are disconnected despite being geographically close. Also, there is a lack of a neighbourhood core accessible from all sides.

Straightness Centrality Kinfaus Dr has moderate straightness centrality in its western part before it makes a sharp turn on itself. In addition, streets west of it have relatively good overall centrality, with enough intersections between themselves and Great Western Road. In the east meandering streets with few intersections such as Southdeen Ave, Jedworth Ave, and Belsyde Ave (which makes a loop) have the lowest levels of straightness centrality. Located along the valley of Garscadden Burn, those streets have already been identified as poorly integrated in the street network.

V. CONCEPT PLAN: PROPOSAL The proposed concept plan is going to focus on four main areas of improvement: street network, transport network, green network and nodes.

One of the main aims is to improve the density of the street network and to create better connections between neighbourhoods. This is going to be assisted by the introduction of a new transport and cycling hubs and buses that begin to service previously disconnected areas. Drumchapel has the advantage of a beautiful natural setting so a new linear park around itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s periphery is going to showcase the surrounding stunning views. Strategically placed district and neighbourhood nodes are going to be introduced in hopes of leading to an increase in Drumchapelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s density.

Street Network Hierarchy

Drumchapel

Proposal One of the main aims of the proposal is to densify the street network and create better connections and more direct routes. A well-defined hierarchy of streets is going to allow for the introduction on a strictly pedestrian zone and at the same time it will provide vehicles with a simpler transportation network. The introduction of a main pedestrian street is going to help create a vibrant urban center that would be able to accommodate for iconic, administrative and mixed use buildings. The street network in the neighborhoods needs transition from three to four-way intersection in order to provide better connectivity.

The train station is going to be moved along the rail line as proposed by the Glasgow city council. In this new location, a new transport hub is going to be introduced for a quick and easy change of transport. Part of the buses are going to keep providing transport around Kinfauns drive while others are going to service the previously disconnected neighbourhood to the west.

A cycling hub is going to be introduced near the Fourth and Clyde canal since this area is going to serve as a gateway to the linear park surrounding Drumchapel.

Ecological Network Drumchapel

Proposal One of the key elements of the proposed green network strategy is going to be the creation of a linear park around the periphery of Drumchapel. Since Garscadden burn has the highest biodiversity in the area, it is important to protect it and connect it to the larger green network. The quality of the vegetation on a number of streets is going to be increased in order to improve the general atmosphere of the urban realm.

Relationship Between Density and Centrality

Drumchapel

Proposal

New Central Connection

The main purpose of the newly intdoduced key connections is to allow Drumchapel to benefit from an intermediary position between Drumry and Bearsden. Additionally, the improvements of the network create central conditions suitable for an urban plaza that can become a vibrant distict node offering a range of facilities and services thus attracting people from the wider area. A new diagonal axis from the urban plaza acts as a NS axis connecting Clydebank and the areas north of Drumchapel.

Multiple Centrality Assessment Proposal Betweenness Centrality

Straightness Centrality

The new link additions in Drumchapelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s street network contribute to establishing a solid level of betweenness centrality in Drumchapel which then increases the possibility of more people passing though the area and engaging in local activities.

The new diagonal axis shows an improvement of the straightness centrality of the network. The place of the new urban plaza also appears to hold a relatively central position.

Closeness Centrality The new urban plaza is whitin an area of relatively high closeness centrality allowing access to it from all adjacent areas. Additionally, other central areas are located within the neighbourhood nodes.
