other technologies,
        especially those that have a low environmental
impact, can play
        creatively/artistically in the fostering of
greater
        communication and participation within a
community.
      * Connect, socially and geographically, the
diverse areas of the
        Pollokshields neighbourhood in Glasgow’s
Southside through the
        use of communication technologies.
