Finely plotted or loosely hand-drawn, every map reveals the intentions of the map maker, and another way to view and edit the city. This exhibition presents a variety of maps, each with their own motive, style and story.</p> <p>During the Cold War, the USSR undertook the greatest cartography operation ever known, covertly producing thousands of detailed plans of countries, towns and cities around the world. Some of these previously-restricted maps have recently become available on the open market. Informed by the work of John Davies and others, New Glasgow Society's Lex Lamb will present the fascinating story - and highlight some peculiar features of - the secret Soviet map of Glasgow. The talk will also present the first ever translation of the map's detailed text description of Glasgow's infrastructure, industry and government in the 1970s.</p>
