Resources for researching culture and cities

A range of research resources for those interested in the Glasgow 1990 project and cities and culture more widely are provided in this section. Suggestions for further resources are welcomed.

Monitoring Glasgow 1990

Monitoring Glasgow 1990 was written by John Myerscough and published by Glasgow City Council in 1991. The CCPR digitised the report with the assistance of Scottish Enterprise and Glasgow City Council on behalf of the study's original funders.
 

Topic guides

CCPR developed a number of topic guides relating, in the main, to cultural policy in Scotland as well as topic guides for researching cities and culture. This link provides access to the topic guide on the UK European Capital of Culture 2008 competition. The guide includes EU culture pages, applicant city web sites, and media commentary on the process pre and post-Liverpool's succesful bid
 

Cities and Culture media pack

Following the short listing of the six UK cities for the nomination for Capital of Culture 2008 on 30 October 2002, the CCPR prepared an information pack for journalists and broadcasters about Glasgow's experience in 1990.
