This week, Craig talks to Malcolm Fraser, sustainable architect and Convenor of Common Weal's Board, about the proposed demolition of Glasgow's Wyndford Estate, what will happen to the community there, why this goes against the climate promised made in Glasgow less than two years ago and how Scotland should change its approach to building standards and retrofitting.
Malcolm recently wrote an article on the Wyndford estate for the Architects' Journal which can be read here.
