Looks at the story of cities, told through experiences drawn from Glasgow and discusses how they are perceived now and how residents hope they will be transformed in the future. Contains the results of Glasgow 2020, an experiment in opening up the future of a city that relied upon the imaginations of residents to envisage how their city might exist in the future. The experiment engaged with participants through stories and storytelling and offers a different perspective to goverment planning documents.
