• This was due to developments such as local authority housing, the emergence of building societies and improved public and private transport

The ‘Outer’ Ring Road … 1930!
Dundee’s ‘outer’ ring road was built in 1930. Find it on the map.
When it was built, it was lined with fields.
Since WW2, Dundee has continued to expand well to the north of the outer ring.
