Covering the period of political reform at the beginning of the 1830s to the great expansion of the city's boundaries in 1912, it examines the adjustments which had to be made to cope with some of the fastest urban growth in Europe. Particular attention is paid to the people, institutions and power structures as Glasgow's intricate class profile is unravelled and the pivotal role of politics and government is fully explored.
