Glasgow has an ever-changing skyline, is this a sign of a vibrant city?
Glasgow is a city which never sleeps! A cultural and economic hub with an ever-changing skyline; but is this constant evolution the sign of an exciting city, or is Glasgow losing the unique historic built environment at the heart of its soul? Our panel of speakers discussed the pros and cons of becoming a modern metropolis, and the challenges faced when incorporating the old with the new.
