Some 30 years after Glasgow turned towards regeneration, indicators of its built environment, its health, its economic performance and its quality of life remain below UK averages. This interdisciplinary study examines the ongoing transformation of Glasgow as it transitioned from a de-industrial to a post-industrial city during the 20th and 21st centuries. Looking at the diverse issues of urban policy, regeneration and economic and social change, it considers the evolving lived experiences of Glaswegians. Contributors explore the actions required to secure the gains of regeneration and create an economically competitive, socially just and sustainable city, establishing a theory that moves beyond post-industrialism and serves as a model for similar cities globally.

In history, cities and nature are often treated as two separate fields of research. »Concepts of Urban-Environmental History« aims to bridge this gap. The contributions to this volume survey major concepts and key issues which have shaped recent debates in the field. They address unresolved questions and future challenges. As a handbook, the collection offers a comprehensive overview for researchers and students, both from a historical and an interdisciplinary background. »Es ist [...] sehr zu begrüßen, dass dieses zuletzt immer mehr an Bedeutung gewinnende Gebiet der Geschichtswissenschaften durch diesen ›Reader‹ nunmehr kompakt erschlossen wird.« Andreas Weigl, Wiener Geschichtsblätter, 2 (2020) Besprochen in: Literaturdatenbank ORLIS, 7 (2020)
