Research output: Book/ReportCommissioned report

Abstract

This report concludes the end of a seven-month period in which the authors (referred to as ‘we’
throughout) have conceptualised, researched, formed networks, and developed practical tools
in a process that seeks to understand, represent, and communicate flooding related risks along
the River Clyde in Glasgow to build awareness, knowledge, attention of these issues to various
groups and help facilitate community resilience.

This project has involved the creation of a series of outputs to evaluate our various research
themes, which include:
- Research and narrate Glasgow’s flooding past and impacts on places and their communities.
- Gather representations of these events (visual, textual, etc) to better understand the
communities that are most vulnerable.
- Compare and layer these onto physical/spatial digital mapping.
- Communicate and represent these to build awareness, knowledge, attention, and urgency.
