What we believe
The YIMBY case for Glasgow

Glasgow has built fewer homes per capita than almost any comparable European city. The consequences are felt by everyone: rising rents, long waiting lists, young people priced out. Here is why we think building more homes is the answer.

💷
01

Affordable by abundance

The most reliable way to make housing affordable is to build more of it. Supply and demand works in housing just as it does everywhere else.

02

Build more, everywhere

Restricting new homes drives up costs for everyone. Allowing more housing in more neighbourhoods keeps rents affordable and gives people real choices.

03

Planning reform

Scotland's planning system gives too much power to those who already have homes, and too little to those who need them. We want to change that.

04

Homes near transport

Building densely around subway and rail stations reduces car dependency, cuts emissions, and connects people to jobs without requiring a car.

05

Jobs and the economy

Building homes creates thousands of well-paid local jobs in construction, architecture, and supply chains. A city that builds is a city that works.

Welcoming new Glaswegians

Glasgow has always grown by welcoming newcomers. Restrictive housing pulls up the drawbridge on that tradition. A city open to people must be open to homes too.
