The city of Glasgow was, quite literally, built on its geology – it may even have been named after one of its rocky features. The geological history of the Glasgow area can be read in the rocks and sediments exposed within the city, from the streams to the buildings and bridges. In 2013 the British Geological Survey Quarrying and building stone conducted a Geodiversity Audit of Sandstones in the Carboniferous sedimentary rocks in the Glasgow the City of Glasgow for Glasgow City area were commonly quarried for Council to identify and describe the building stone.

Executive Summary The City of Glasgow has a long tradition in the pursuit of a high quality built environment and public realm, continuing to the present day. This strategy represents the next steps in this tradition by setting out how open space should be planned, created, enhanced and managed in order to meet the priorities for Glasgow for the 21st century. This is not just an open space strategy. It is a cross‐cutting vision for delivering a high quality environment that supports economic vitality, improves the health of Glasgow’s residents, provides opportunities for low carbon movement, builds resilience to climate change, supports ecological networks and encourages community cohesion. This is because, when planned well, open space can provide multiple functions that deliver numerous social, economic and environmental benefits. Realising these benefits should be undertaken in a way that is tailored to the needs of the City. As such, this strategy examines the priorities Glasgow has set out and identifies six cross‐cutting strategic priority themes for how open space can contribute to meeting them.

    The Politics of Care: Glasgow and the UK's Dispersal

    The Politics of Care: Glasgow and the UK’s Dispersal Policy Who Belongs Where: Controlling Movement and Settlement Word Count: 18, 733 By Stephanie Murphy Supervised by Darshan Vigneswaran University of Amsterdam Msc Political Science 1 Abstract Today we are witnessing a collective action problem between European states who are unable to manage immigration and asylum. In response, this thesis reflects on the role of urban spaces in reimagining narratives of acceptance. In the majority, EU states are reacting to the demands for sanctuary with hard borders, a pejorative discourse and ultimately the avoidance of responsibility. This is not only leading to an unproductive, but an immoral system with the value of human life lost. In light of this stalemate I turn to the urban level and discuss the role of local actors in challenging state decision-making, alongside the perceived trade-off between interests and ideas. I specifically focus on the case of Glasgow which stands out as a extreme example of asylum acceptance, taking far more than its fair share as a voluntary dispersal city under the UK’s asylum dispersal policy. By engaging with descriptive statistics, document analysis and semi-structured interviews I explore the interconnected factors which produce Glasgow’s high level of acceptance. In doing so I outline how the current theoretical framework is insufficient in explaining the complexities of acceptance beyond a zero-sum dialogue. I conclude by outlining how Glasgow’s position as a dispersal site has been maintained by an array of conceptual and normative factors which overtime have entrenched a ‘culture of care’ in the city.

The motorway, combined with the Clyde, creates the impression of a “walled city” and in some ways creates a barrier which separates elements of the city centre which were never designed to be separated. The eastern edge of the city centre is less clearly defined and is the historic heart of the city, however while fragments of its historic roots remain its new identity is yet to be fully formed. The River Clyde acts as a barrier in its current condition with a lack of activity on both sides creating an inhospitable environment, and the Clyde is not yet a destination in its own right. While the City Centre Strategy will be based on the Development Plan boundary, it will also include areas that lie on the edge which are strategically important despite falling outwith the official boundary. This will ensure that areas like the cultural regeneration of the Clyde, the emerging North Quarter, and activity on the East End and in Tradeston can be incorporated into the strategic planning for the city centre. www.glasgow.gov.uk Getting Ahead of Change: Glasgow City Centre Strategy 2013–18 03 Sighthill Cowcaddens Kelvingrove Garnethill Townhead Blythswood Glasgow Anderston City Centre Merchant City Broomielaw St Enoch The Barras Districts Strategy • Districts Nine new Districts will have discrete area strategies developed around their current and future attraction, amenity and speciality.

    LGBTQ+ people have been a part of Glasgow’s history as long as the city has existed. Although the histories of the LGBTQ+ community are often ignored or not recorded in traditional ways, we can find traces of their lives and experiences. From the court records of male sex workers in the Broomielaw to listings and adverts for club nights in the 2000s, and from memories of the saunas and club scenes of the 1980s to the direct action and activism of LGBTQ+ groups like the Lesbian Avengers. The terms we use now for LGBTQ+ people are vital reminder of the history of criminalisation modern definitions for experiences and identities in Scotland, and the impact it had on the that have always existed; when discussing any LGBTQ+ community.
