A proposal to reshape and restitch the urban fabric of Cumbernauld. Instead of demolishing a piece of architectural heritage like the megastructure, why not breathe new life into the town through a fully integrated and comprehensive social housing programme, bursting with amenities, shopping, workspace, and communal neighbourhood institutions and make this New Town, new again?
