Abstract
In 2014 Jack Becker was the recipient of the Public Art Dialogue Award in recognition of his contributions to the field of public art. Becker is the executive director of Forecast Public Art, which he established in 1978, and publisher of Public Art Review. Building on Becker's education in the arts and career experience as an Art in Public Places programme coordinator (Minneapolis) and Arts Development manager (St Paul), Forecast Public Art has developed into a non-profits arts organization that seeks to connect 'the energies and talents of artists with the needs and opportunities of communities' and works closely with artists, stakeholders and communities to develop and realize projects responding to their needs.

Some 30 years after Glasgow turned towards regeneration, indicators of its built environment, its health, its economic performance and its quality of life remain below UK averages. This interdisciplinary study examines the ongoing transformation of Glasgow as it transitioned from a de-industrial to a post-industrial city during the 20th and 21st centuries. Looking at the diverse issues of urban policy, regeneration and economic and social change, it considers the evolving lived experiences of Glaswegians. Contributors explore the actions required to secure the gains of regeneration and create an economically competitive, socially just and sustainable city, establishing a theory that moves beyond post-industrialism and serves as a model for similar cities globally
