Understanding Glasgow: Site launch
Understanding Glasgow (www.understandingglasgow.com) is an accessible new web-based resource that aims to inform a wide audience about the wellbeing of Glasgow’s residents. It is part of a partnership project looking at indicators of progress in Glasgow (the Glasgow Indicators Project) that includes the main public agencies in the city.
Understanding Glasgow aims to inspire and promote civic dialogue and new thinking about the multi-faceted and cross-cutting issues facing Glasgow in the early years of the 21st century and beyond. The site provides new insights and highlights some striking and surprising statistics about Scotland’s largest city in an engaging and accessible way.
The site will see its official launch at the Lighthouse today, with a seminar and workshop session.
