Inhaltsangabe

This is a detailed examination of the history of the Moorepark estate, set within a discussion of Glasgow housing as a whole from 1850 to 1939. Using the tenants' own words this study relates the experience of ordinary people to local - here the Glasgow Corporation - and state government policy. It shows that although the manifest aim of the 1930s legislation was to provide good homes for slum-dwellers, an underlying motive was to isolate and control sections of the working class seen as undeserving. It shows how people and places come to be labelled as problems and how such labels are maintained and reinforced over a period of time.
