Produktbeschreibung

First published in 1971, this title was written when multi-storey flats were a popular solution to the world-wide need for mass housing because they could be produced with speed. Original research into this question forms the basis of this book which focuses on Glasgow but gives attention to other examples both in Britain and abroad.
