Aberdeen, Glasgow and Edinburgh in the century of the city

Scotland’s Urban AGE is a major research project commissioned by the Property & Infrastructure team and delivered by Glasgow Urban Laboratory at the Glasgow School of Art.

The report’s recommendations cover key issues such as:

  • business rates
