Report of short term scientific mission to study the city of Glasgow for European COST Action 1204: People-friendly Cities in a Data-rich World led by Dick Gleeson former city planner Dublin City Council and hosted by Prof Brian Mark Evans at the Glasgow Urban Laboratory, Mackintosh School of Architecture, The Glasgow School of Art. The STSM examines the City of Glasgow, and how the City has forged a culture of collaborative urbanism among Glasgow’s stakeholders, in moving from a city of industrial decline and economic underperformance to one of the UKs success stories in terms of successful urban regeneration and the creation of viable new economic sectors. In exploring collaborative urbanism in Glasgow, the work reviews the work of the Glasgow Urban Laboratory and focuses on three specific events in Glasgow’s recent history; [1] Tenement regeneration in the late 60s early 70s following severe storm damage [2] European City of Culture in 1990 [3] The Glasgow Visioning initiative of recent years.
