Glasgow City Council Place Commission
Jude Barber was involved as an expert advisor on Glasgow City Council’s Place Commission.
The Place Commission for Glasgow can be seen as an ongoing conversation with the city's communities, developers, designers and other partners to consider how the built environment can best respond to and serve the new ways in which we live, work and travel - to create a better quality of place for the people of Glasgow.
The Place Commission, led by Glasgow's City Urbanist, Professor Brian Evans, was launched during the final day of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) conference on City Living.
Alongside Professor Evans on the Place Commission are experts from a variety of related fields, each with an interest in the topics to be considered. These independent commissioners are: Ann Allen (Chair, Architecture and Design Scotland); Jude Barber, Director/Architect at Collective Architecture; Dr Linda de Caestecker, Director of Public Health, NHSGGC; Charles Campion, Partner, JTP (Architects and Urbanists); Kevin Kane, Executive Director, Glasgow Economic Leadership; Professor Carol Tannahill, Director, Glasgow Centre for Population Health; Rachel Tennant, Chair of Landscape Institute Scotland, and Dr Brian Veitch, Consulting Engineer and Former Director, ARUP.
Over the course of the next year, the Place Commission will meet to discuss how this can happen, with three main themes framing the discussions - the Everyday City (how we experience the city as residents, workers, business people, or visitors); the Metropolitan City (recognising the interdependence between Glasgow and the rest of the Clyde Valley); and the International City (considering Glasgow's place on the international stage).
