Forthcoming Issues
- Interiors
Urban Realm goes beyond skin-deep reporting on the built environment with a look at how our interior spaces are being reconfigured to meet the needs of a new generation of occupants. - Tenement
They are all around us and have long been taken for granted but tenements have never been more critical to the health of our urban society. In the company of John Gilbert, author of The Tenement Revealed, we find out how this city staple has evolved over the past 200 years and how they are set to evolve again to meet the demands of a Net Zero world. - Wyndford
Demolition of the Wyndford tower blocks marks a timely moment to take stock of how present housing policy stacks up. Why are high-rise homes being demolished during a housing emergency and what does this say about the health of our inner cities? - Liveable Neighbourhoods
It's the buzzword on the lips of any planner but are 20-minute neighbourhoods the answer to our sprawl-centric and car-dependent society? Chris Stewart investigates what local living means in practice and whether we are on the cusp of a new golden age of localism or demoting design to a box-ticking exercise. - Caerlee Mill
Mark Chalmers heads to Caerlee Mill, Innerleithen, before its last (and oldest) buildings are demolished to record a mill complex once held in the same regard as New Lanark or Stanley Mills - albeit at a smaller scale. - Settlement Geometry
We look at the lost art of geometry in urban planning as order gives way to chaos in the layout of our towns and cities. Have we forgotten the contribution that strong layout design can have on good placemaking? - Port Edgar
Urban Realm pays a visit to one of the most photogenic construction sites in the world, a ramshackle former naval barracks in the process of being turned into affordable homes with priceless views of the Forth Estuary.
