Dr Diane Watters, architectural historian, provides a brief introduction to the inter- disciplinary Leverhulme-funded research project on New Towns led by the Universities of Edinburgh and Glasgow. In the face of ongoing condemnations, such as the ‘Plook on the Plinth’ award, the project aims to uncover the original vision, plans, reception, and their legacy. She will focus on Cumbernauld (the speaker’s hometown) and Livingston.
