Glasgow was Clyde-built

The Post-Industrial City - Andrew Davis - World Urbanization


The name "Glasgow" holds images of unemployment lines, riots at the football match, desperate youth razor blade gangs. . . "Glasgow" is the towering cranes over the River Clyde, no longer lifting iron locomotives, no longer building the great steamers of the British Empire. "Glasgow" is a defeated city, down on its luck, waiting for a handout. "Glasgow" is Wet Wet Wet.

Or is it?
