The Thriving Glasgow Portrait presents a vision for the future of Glasgow. It is a future where the people, wildlife, and ecology of Glasgow are all able to mutually thrive, and to thrive in ways that benefit the rest of the planet too.

The vision of a Thriving Glasgow has been co-created by many different changemakers across the city, in partnership with researchers at the University of Glasgow and colleagues at Glasgow City Council. Through desk-based research and interactive stakeholder workshops, over the course of the past 18 months, we have worked together to build a picture of possibility for Glasgow.

The collaborative process co-created 44 definitions of the “ideal state” for Glasgow as a Thriving City in relation to the dimensions of the Doughnut Economics framework. These are considered through four different lenses: social and ecological, local and global. This has created a diverse, multi-dimensional picture of Glasgow’s current and new ambitions for the city’s sustainable future. The report also includes more detailed examples of what this might look like.
