Through our historic environment grants people enjoy, understand and care for Glasgow’s historic built environment and are able to access funding and expertise which ensures the sustainability of the city’s heritage for current and future generations.
Our historic environment plays an important role in successful neighbourhoods and high streets which are vital as a focal point for social and economic interactions and sustainable communities.
