URBAN Model

Glasgow launched its new interactive 3-D digital model of the City Centre and River Clyde on Monday 14 May 2007. The development of the Urban Model responds to the Scottish Executive’s vision for delivering online services fit for the 21st Century.  The primary objective of the model is to allow the public greater access to and understanding of the development of the city.
