In the 1950s, Gorbals, a district in Glasgow, Scotland, was characterized by poor living conditions, marked by overcrowding and inadequate housing. Many tenement buildings were dilapidated and lacked basic amenities, contributing to high levels of poverty and social issues. The area experienced significant urban decline, prompting government initiatives aimed at urban renewal and housing improvements. Despite these challenges, Gorbals also fostered a strong sense of community among its residents.
