Glasgow National Park City Group aims to improve people’s quality of life and the environment through the creation of Glasgow National Park City. This initial crowdfund will help develop a web presence, support events and produce materials to kick-start the campaign.

Glasgow National Park City Group will

- coordinate and promote action to establish a Glasgow National Park City (NPC);
- connect, amplify and support the work of any individuals and groups who help to achieve this aim; and
- work with other organisations to secure their long-term commitment to establishing a Glasgow NPC.

We hope that the people of Glasgow will get behind the campaign to promote the creation of Glasgow NPC. Your support will help bring people and groups together to share information and ideas, develop new projects and show what a National Park City can offer to Glasgow’s people and places.

What is a National Park City?

Although there are no National Park Cities in the world (yet!), active campaigns are already underway in cities around the world. Put simply National Park Cities are places that apply the benefits of traditional National Parks to cities in order to;

- Encourage people to enjoy, understand and care for their city
- Protect and enhance our urban natural and cultural heritage
- Improve the wellbeing of our communities
- Inspire individuals, groups and organisations to work together towards these aims.

Glasgow NPC will:

- Improve quality of life for the people of Glasgow
- Protect and improve the environment
- Make our city environmentally and culturally richer, a place where people are more connected to nature and to each other, and are healthier and happier as a result
- Bring broader benefits to Glasgow and Scotland by enhancing its appeal to residents, visitors and businesses.

Why Glasgow?

Glasgow faces ongoing challenges linked to health inequality. But there is huge potential to address this by bringing together people and places. By kick-starting the campaign for a Glasgow NPC your support will help to;

- Build a strong online presence to act as the hub for the campaign
- Organise events that take our message to different communities
- Promote the work of grassroots organisations and create connections between them
- Work with partners to encourage and develop National Park City demonstration projects.
