Product Description

Synopsis
A short account of the making of Livingston new town describing some of the achievements and challenges since 1962 in creating a sub-regional centre of 45,000 people from a greenfield site to the west of Edinburgh. This work examines the history of the rural area designated Scotland's fourth new town in 1962 and Livingston's place in the context of the UK new-town movement and the Scottish economy. It describes how Livingston was developed from the master plan to the reality of industry, schools, housing and parks, and the challenge of building the town centre. The book answers such questions as: where did the people and businesses of Livingston come from and why?; what were their hopes and expectations and how did they come to think of Livingston as home?; and in what ways did they help to change the future of their town through the ecumenical experiment, forum, festivals and farms?
