This material traces the development of the project from before Glasgow 1999, when an attempt was made to establish interest within the housing association movement for a public spaces programme. The material then traces the various events and processes which led to the submission to the Millennium Commission. From the outset, several values underpinned the project: - Local Ownership, via the community based housing association movement - The integration of artists into the design team - Visual Art Projects had a central role throughout in commissioning and sustaining the artists - Ambitious new attitude to designing the public realm Includes: DC 028/7/3/1/1 Background Infromation, Organisational Structure, Summary Chronology, Contacts List, Contracts (c1996-1998) 1 folder; DC 028/7/3/1/2 Project Antecedents (1995-1996) 1 folder; DC 028/7/3/1/3 Details of Study Tour to Barcelona April 1996 (details) (1996) 1 folder; DC 028/7/3/1/4 Inaugural Event June 1996, the Briggait, Glasgow (invitations to participate in the scheme).
