The changes in the Gorbals can be split into four categories:

1. Housing- High rise flats built to deal with overcrowding have been demolished. - New 2 storey brick tenements have been built with inside toilets, baths and parking spaces.- Some new houses for sale (not just renting) which means wealthier people move in.

2. Services- More services built for example a library, leisure centre and a health centre.
