This week, The Herald and the Glasgow Times have been running a week-long in-depth investigative series on the challenges facing Glasgow.

“The Future of Glasgow” has drawn on first-hand interviews with the people who love, live and work in the city.

For the series, we've spoken to figures such as Mike Grieve, owner of the long-established Sub Club; former Lord Provost of Glasgow Michael Kelly; Scottish curator, writer and social historian Dr Elspeth King; Glasgow City Council leader Susan Aitken; Matt Brennan, Professor of Popular Music at the University of Glasgow; and veteran of Glasgow's restaurant scene Marco Giannasi. 

We have brought out the voices of Glasgow people who want more for the city and how they think it could change.

As part of the series, The Herald and the Glasgow Times are compiling a list of Glasgow’s top 100 most influential people.

The narrative of decline in the city is absolutely false

Why Glasgow is unique and deserves special treatment


Now we are asking you to come up with your suggestions as to who should make the list - people who you think are making a positive contribution to the city's future and deserve recognition for doing so.

Who’s current? Who’s making a difference? Who's the next big thing? It could be the person who is taking a stand in a community or the group that is fighting for change. It could be a born and bred Glaswegian who tops the list or someone who has come here and made the city their home.

Whether it is an ambassador for the city or someone who could have the vision for where Glasgow goes next - you can help decide.

We want to recognised the people who are making Glasgow now and who could be the key to its future.
