Glasgow / Royaume-Uni

Glasgow est la métropole d’Écosse et la troisième ville du Royaume-Uni. Elle a aussi le statut de council area et de région de lieutenance, après avoir eu celui de district au sein de la région du Strathclyde dont elle est le siège. Elle est située dans l'ouest de la partie centrale des lowlands écossaises. Le gentilé Glaswégien désigne aussi, au singulier, le dialecte local. La naissance de la ville est basée sur deux fondations médiévales, l'ancien archidiocèse de Glasgow et l’université de Glasgow en 1451. L'essor décisif surgit toutefois après les Lumières écossaises, imposant un précoce taux d'alphabétisation et une rapide transition de la maîtrise de l'outil au machinisme. À partir du XVIIIe siècle, Glasgow est un centre considérable du commerce transatlantique et pendant la Révolution industrielle qui est lancé au XIXe siècle, l’ingénierie et la construction navale prennent le relais moteur. Appelée, après Londres, « la deuxième ville de l’Empire britannique » pendant les époques victoriennes et édouardiennes malgré sa triste réputation de ville de taudis,,,, Glasgow reste aujourd'hui encore l’un des centres financiers les plus importants d’Europe, et accueille les quartiers généraux de grandes entreprises écossaises. En 2012, Glasgow est classée 44e ville mondiale pour la qualité de ses infrastructures.
