Authors: Alan Taylor

Ade Kearns, professor of urban studies at Glasgow University, told BBC Radio Scotland: ‘High rise works in some contexts but they don't work in situations where you build them in rather large numbers, often in quite isolated locations, without many amenities. You put up the
most expensive structures to look after and then you put the people in them with the least amount of money. It's a circle you can't square.'

The demolition on Sunday was a little anticlimatic, with two of the point blocks only partly destroyed. It was a final twist in a complex history: they built them up, they blew them up, but they couldn't quite knock them down.
