		A 16th-century traveler described Glasgow as "a flourishing cathedral city reminiscent of the beautiful fabrics and florid fields of England." Daniel Defoe in 1727 described it as "the cleanest and beautifullest and best-built of cities." Booming prosperity, however, created a Glasgow less clean and less beautiful.
		Stretching along both banks of the widening River Clyde, Glasgow was transformed into a depressed city in the early 20th century, and fifty years ago its slums of dockland and the Clyde banks were infamous.
		But Glasgow, always at the forefront of change, boasts, side by side with the overly Victorian, an architectural vision of the future in the work of Charles Rennie Mackintosh (1868-1928).
