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.

“The Great Society is a place where every child can find knowledge to enrich his mind and to enlarge his talents.... It is a place where the city of man serves not only the needs of the body and the demands of commerce but the desire for beauty and the hunger for community.... It is a place where men are more concerned with the quality of their goals than the quantity of their goods.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“He was a superior man. He did not value his bodily life in comparison with ideal things. He did not recognize unjust human laws, but resisted them as he was bid. For once we are lifted out of the trivialness and dust of politics into the region of truth and manhood.”
