Glasgow in Photographs - David Collier

26.99 €

Glasgow, Scotland’s largest city, has long been an important cultural and trading centre. Its historic university and the wealth generated by the Atlantic trade, followed by massive industrial expansion, has left a legacy that can be seen in the fabric of Glasgow today. It was one of the first cities in Europe to reach a population of one million and became one of the largest cities in the British Empire. The 1930s Great Depression hit Glasgow hard and after the Second World War, Glasgow underwent a massive rehousing and urban renewal programme, moving many people to the periphery of Glasgow. Since the 1980s, Glasgow has redefined itself, drawing many back into the city.In this book photographer David Collie celebrates today’s face of Glasgow in a collection of stunning images which portray not just the new buildings that characterise the modern city, but also how the how the older Glasgow also survives alongside them, many turned into new uses, to create this unique vibrant city which displays its creativity often on its streets. For all those who are proud to live and work in Glasgow, as well as those visiting, this book is a must. Look through these photographs and you will quickly see the special fascination of this changing city.
