Glasgow’s Transforming – How the planners of the past imagined the city of the future
Drop-in to the cinema at Kelvin Hall for a screening of films from the National Library of Scotland’s Moving Image and Sound Archive exploring the theme of ‘Glasgow’s Transforming’. From housing to urban spaces, roads and transport, these films look at the ways in which planners responded to the changing needs of a rapidly growing city during the post war period and beyond.
