Who Belongs to Glasgow?

Synopsis
Images are representations of places; they are constructed and contested, and they also represent multiple identites, uniqueness of place and interdependencies. Glasgow was once regarded as the place which best illustrated all that was wrong with the modern industrial city, and this programme uses Glasgow’s ‘image’ as a case study. It looks at the factors involved in making it now the most successful among British cities in developing a new identity in this ‘post-industrial’ era.

Notes
NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
