Urban & municipal planning

Thirty years after Glasgow turned towards regeneration, indicators of its built environment, its health, economic performance and its quality of life remain below UK averages. This interdisciplinary study examines the ongoing transformation of Glasgow as it has transitioned from a de-industrial to a post-industrial city during the 21st Century. Looking at diverse issues of urban policy, regeneration, and economic and social change, it considers the evolving lived experiences of Glaswegians.

Contributors explore the necessary actions required to secure the gains of regeneration and create an economically competitive, socially just and sustainable city, establishing a theory that moves beyond post-industrialism that serves as a model for similar cities globally.

Reviews for Transforming Glasgow: Beyond the Post-Industrial City

"“How can [cities] achieve desirable change amid the uncertainties of market forces? That concern runs throughout the book as it examines the complex landscape of urban transformation in one of Europe’s most dramatic cities.” Scottish Planning and Environmental Law ""This book is an insightful and well-edited collection of academic texts. It should appeal to and deserve a wide readership, including policy makers, researchers and students."" Town Planning Review"
