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.

  • Strathclyde University, Glasgow 2016 Semester 1 Bappsci Design for Technology
    Strathclyde University, Glasgow 2016 Semester 1 BAppSci Design for Technology Accommodation: I stayed in Birkbeck Court, which is one of the halls in student village on campus. I went into a hall because it was the easiest option. Advantages: It’s close to everything, meet people easily, it’s warm. Disadvantages: Exchange student tend to get put with exchange students so unless you make friends in your classes you don’t get a lot of Scottish interaction. Don’t expect much bang for your buck, while they have been renovated they are pretty small and basic. Other options are finding your own accommodation which I heard can be difficult and tends to be hard to find near Uni, especially if you only there for half the year. Glasgow: The city’s slogan is “People make Glasgow” which couldn’t be anything further from the truth. The people are so friendly and definitely made the experience so much better. The “Weegie” accent (accent found in Glasgow) definitely took getting used to and adding a kiwi accent in the mix made for some hilarious misunderstandings. I can’t say I would rave about the city’s décor but once you get there and get amongst the culture it becomes less important. In saying that, there are some nice parks (Glasgow Green) and the botanical gardens in the West End are really good to escape to on a nice day. Glasgow is tour stop for a lot of bands both big and small. I would recommend trying out some of the less well known bands when your there.

THE anthropomorphic habit of thought manifested in the polytheism of the Greeks and the mono- theism of the early Jews has been responsible, one supposes, for the familiar expression, "the body politic." But if the capital of a country be regarded as its head, there are few large states which have answered con- sistently to the anthropomorphic image.

  • Official Official the Glasgow City Council (London Road
    OFFICIAL THE GLASGOW CITY COUNCIL (LONDON ROAD AND HAMILTON ROAD) (30MPH SPEED LIMIT) ORDER 202_ Report Glasgow City Council is currently implementing “City Ways” which are routes that radiate from the city centre. These key corridors link into the wider network and are characterised by features such as pedestrian spaces and segregated cycle lanes. With business, cultural, educational and residential destinations in close proximity, the routes provide greater access to all aspects of our city. East City Way will provide a route from the city centre to the boundary with North Lanarkshire connecting the existing infrastructure implemented east of Daldowie Road and from Parkhead to Glasgow Green. The proposed speed limit reduction from 40mph to 30mph will make the route safer with lower traffic speeds for the most vulnerable road users, pedestrians and cyclists, and encourage these travel options which should provide future health and environmental benefits. The following roads will be affected: London Road from Maukinfauld Road to Mount Vernon Avenue (the section west of Maukinfauld Road is currently 30mph). Hamilton Road from 110m west of Mount Vernon Avenue to Roundknowe Road. Braidfauld Street on the north approach to London Road. Causewayside Street on the north approach to London Road. Carmyle Avenue on the north approach to London Road. The proposed East City Way will be implemented in phases starting at Daldowie Road to London Drive, there was a public consultation in September 2018 on this phase. Subsequent phases will be progressed following local public consultations. OFFICIAL .
