Cumbernauld's city centre development was the focal point of the town's redevelopment in the early 1950s.
Offering families an alternative to Glasgow's overcrowding and dated housing, Cumbernauld's planners used a radically different approach to the development's shape and layout.
In 2023, plans were announced to the demolish the centre and replace it with a new pedestrian-only hub with shops and community spaces.
