Talk:Bruce Report

Untitled
Hi I iam researching an essay on the social history of Glasgows mueums and publics. I seem to remember sometime in the 90's/00's a document was leaked explicitly saying that the slum clearances had been to make the city look better rather than improve the lives of its residents. did I imagine this or does anyone know what I am talking about. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Linsey

NPOV issues regarding "21st Century Perspectives" section
This section was written following an extensive clean-up of the article aimed at restoring neutrality to the main sections. It incorporates many of the 21st century responses and perspectives which had previously been muddying neutrality of the body of the article. The section attempts to present varying contemporary views and interpretations of the Report and its impact neutrally and objectively. Further work on improving this neutrality is required (at present only one person has edited it, so there is probably some bias in the text), however wholesale deletion of this section seems unwise. Given its impact on the shape of modern day Glasgow, an important aspect of any discussion of the Bruce Report should be the recognition and examination of contemporary perspectives.

Slum housing section
There are apparent contradictions here: two different, conflicting un-sourced population figures are given for areas refered to as "Greater Glasgow" this needs addressing and references citing.

Also the meaning of the opening section regarding Bruce's intentions for addressing slum housing has been changed to the reverse of its earlier meaning - used to read that the Report called for the redistribution of population to ease overcrowding, now reads that the report called for city centre population density to be maintained. Again sources are needed here. Can anyone suggest some good reference material for this? I'm fascinated by the subject but struggling to find consistent and reliable source material, Splateagle (talk) 16:12, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
