Let Glasgow Flourish

Let Glasgow Flourish, published in 2006, is a comprehensive review of health and its determinants in Glasgow and the West of Scotland. Its purpose was to increase understanding, provoke debate and stimulate action.

The report summarises four main themes:

  • how Glasgow has changed as a place, particularly over the last 25 years
  • the health profile of Glasgow: what is getting better, what is proving resistant to change and what is getting worse
  • how we make sense of these trends
  • future challenges in relation to demography, economic factors, health behaviours and sustainability

Two briefing papers are also available, giving overviews of both the report itself and community responses to its findings.
