Glasgow City Region
Eight local authorities work in partnership to co-ordinate local government across what they describe as the "Glasgow City Region". These local authorities are Glasgow City Council, East Dunbartonshire Council, West Dunbartonshire Council, South Lanarkshire Council, North Lanarkshire Council, East Renfrewshire Council, Renfrewshire Council, and Inverclyde Council, and the area they define as the Glasgow City region has a population of 1.75 million. The City Region Boundaries Study, commissioned by the Scottish Government, reported a number of possible boundaries for the Glasgow city region, but places within each of the above council areas were included in all possibilities. Surprisingly places within the local authorities of Argyll and Bute, North Ayrshire, Stirling and Falkirk were also included, however, such a large area has never been considered as any definition of Glasgow.
