Despite industrial decline, the city has undergone a revival in recent years, with new development representing its cultural, commercial and financial significance today.In this book photographer David Collie celebrates the interior face of Glasgow in a collection of stunning images which portray the huge variety of fascinating spaces to be found, from older buildings which have become ingrained in Glasgow's history, even if sometimes turned into new uses, to newer spaces showcasing the modern in Glasgow. For all those who are proud to live and work in Glasgow, as well as those visiting, this book is a must.
