Crisis in our high streets
The steady slide of the High Street from what was once a thriving hub of social and economic activity to a space dominated by national chains of commercial outlets, charity shops and empty units is now a national concern. The PM turned to Mary Portas for some answers, Architect and Design Scotland has embarked on a new project to ‘Imagine Alternative High Street Futures’ and Julian Dobson, blogger and social commentator, has come up with 20 things you can do with a high street that doesn’t involve shopping.
