Volume 4 could be dubbed ‘Oatlands and Epilogue’ . It is mainly about Oatlands, looking at the history of this often-overlooked area before again bringing the story up to date with more recent renewal. Ron Smith’s working life as a town planner was spent in Gorbals and Oatlands and in the conclusions he reflects on his experiences. Town planners sometimes compete in the public’s eye with the Luftwaffe for the amount of damage they are seen to have wrought, but these four volumes tell a story of sympathetic renewal from a planner who had an existing interest in the history of the area and thus a better understanding of its needs.
