Representatives of main parties will be attending and fielding questions from you, the general public, about their plans for the city – its architecture, places and spaces.
What are the various parties’ plans for the city? What are the key infrastructure challenges facing Glasgow? Where do you think its priorities should lie?
Join the debate! Come along, have your say, and put your questions to Glasgow’s politicians. The event will run to a ‘question time’ format.
