Conclusion: beyond the post-industrial: narratives of time and place

This chapter examines the extent to, and ways in, which Glasgow is moving beyond characterisation as a post-industrial city. To achieve this the chapter first re-examines the term ‘post-industrial’ and then moves on to consider where cities like Glasgow fit with key debates within the urban studies field. The chapter then turns to consider two analytical approaches to engage with the question of whether a city can still be characterised as post-industrial. Here we foreground how an analytically-informed urban biography can open up a discussion on the particularities of place and time. We then conclude the chapter with some overarching themes that have resulted from the use of place and time as analytical categories. These themes, we argue, are central to an examination of whether cities are moving beyond being characterised as post-industrial.
