Glasgow Urban Area
A wider area that forms a single urban settlement, the standard definition of which is that houses and buildings generally be not more than 200 metres apart (excluding parks and other designated sites). It should not be confused with a metropolitan area, which is much larger and does not form a single settlement.

Famous quotes containing the words glasgow, urban and/or area:
“... to be “literary” appeared to my deluded innocence as an unending romance.”
—Ellen Glasgow (1873–1945)
“Commercial jazz, soap opera, pulp fiction, comic strips, the movies set the images, mannerisms, standards, and aims of the urban masses. In one way or another, everyone is equal before these cultural machines; like technology itself, the mass media are nearly universal in their incidence and appeal. They are a kind of common denominator, a kind of scheme for pre-scheduled, mass emotions.”
—C. Wright Mills (1916–62)
“Self-esteem is the real magic wand that can form a child’s future. A child’s self-esteem affects every area of her existence, from friends she chooses, to how well she does academically in school, to what kind of job she gets, to even the person she chooses to marry.”
—Stephanie Martson (20th century)
