The People’s Plan for Glasgow offers the opportunity for a collaboration of organisations, campaigns and individuals to co-create a revitalised local democracy and a Glasgow that works for people, the planet and future generations.

The aim of the People’s Plan process is to recognise and play an active role in the development of the amazing transformative work already being done locally on issues such as housing, migrant justice, transport, city planning, equality, sustainability, health and economy. 

It is hoped that through different ways of working and by acting as a platform for alternative ideas, a commonly owned ‘humanifesto’ will emerge, which rejects the current market based, corporate perspective that fails to offer many residents wellbeing in any form. 

There is no one blueprint for transformation, and it is recognised that change is a process of debate and contestation, and that it can be both creative and messy.

This website has been devised as the repository for information, but it is not owned by any one organisation, rather it is an invitation to participate! It has been established initially by a collaboration between SANE, Enough, Galgael and Ubuntu Women Shelter. It will evolve over time as more people become involved!
