Is there anybody there? - 2003 - Roof January/February 2003, 26-27(2) .

Looks at the problems caused to Scottish planners and housing officials by inaccurate 1991 census population estimates which have been recently corrected. Examines the trends in Scotland's population indicated by the 2001 census: a slow decline in the population as a whole with an overall increase in the number of households and elderly people, and a population drift from the west coast to the east coast. Highlights the lack of a nationwide planning view in Scotland which is being rectified by the current formulation of a national spatial framework.
