Scotland's biggest city has the world's focus on it for the climate change summit, so it's making the case for some big inward investment with which it can set an example.
Thus, today, we get a £30bn prospectus for the city. It is a bundled-up portfolio of public works aimed at big-scale investors and at what urban planners like to call "place-making" - buildings, spaces and travel corridors that work for the people who use them. . Much of it looks like old-fashioned development of brownfield sites stretching well past the city boundaries, but daubed with a lot of green.
This extends south of the river and into Renfrewshire, to the Advanced Manufacturing Innovation District. There are contracts already in place with Boeing and others to design new ways to lighten the load for aircraft, the same reason that Spirit Aerosystems, the US aerospace giant with a large footprint in Prestwick, opened its new research centre this week.
Again, this is at the stage of a feasibility study, but the claim is that it could generate 75,000 jobs and £4.4bn of value for the city economy over 10 years, removing more than 10 million tonnes of carbon emissions from the atmosphere each year. It's not yet apparent, but we can live in hope that the rhetoric of economic transformation could yet become reality.Also by coincidence, the launch of this prospectus and "greenprint" coincides with a Westminster committee report pointing out how much institutional foreign investment is drawn into London and south-east England.
So Scotland pays for Glasgow does she.....and what do I get in return?
