INTRODUCTION>

Three year study carried out by the world health organisation concluded that social factors not genetics are responsible for differences in health and life expectancy example given; a boy living in one suburb of Glasgow is on average said to live 28 years less than in another more affluent suburb nearby... (bbc news: http://newsvote.bbc.co.uk/mpapps/pagetools/print/news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health)
Subject- social inequality; drugs, economics, politics, alcohol... etc (we could the use welsh references...) how-ever the divide is conceptualised, the important point is that, there were two or more separate antagonistic or unequal conditions which causes the division of the local community (a type of class divide?), the main thing we are looking at in the case study is the ways in which NORD undermine social divisions by bringing people together; Smoking Clusters, Bath House, Public Convenience etc...

From the NORD website:

“NORD have a general interest in the everyday... In our present day, public furniture does little to encourage social interaction”.

Experiment: to test the devices Nord use to do this... we need the plans and sections to highlight what we are talking about and i will scan in the diagrams when i am in uni tomorrow.
