Abstract
City strategies to remake places positioned at their core an improvement of the built environment. In turn, this necessitated a series of re-evaluations as to what future role the existing historic environment could play in urban redevelopment initiatives. The chapter examines three major trends in the use of historic buildings as part of urban redevelopment initiatives in Glasgow. Firstly, the ways in which the perceived benefits of restoring the historic environment grew to a point whereby heritage is now almost seen as a panacea for urban ills. Secondly, the chapter explores the shift in the ways in which urban conservation was managed between 1980-2018. Thirdly, and finally, the ways in which different sources of funding for restoring historic buildings became available over this period is examined.
