North Glasgow extends out from the north of the city centre towards the affluent suburbs of [[Bearsden]], [[Milngavie]] and [[Bishopbriggs]] in [[East Dunbartonshire]] and [[Clydebank]] in [[West Dunbartonshire]]. The area also contains some of the city's poorest residential areas.

This has led to large-scale redevelopment of much of the poorer housing stock in north Glasgow, and the wider regeneration of many areas, such as [[Ruchill]], which have been transformed; many run-down tenements have now been refurbished or replaced by modern [[housing estate]]s. Much of the housing stock in north Glasgow is rented [[social housing]], with a high proportion of high-rise tower blocks, managed by the North Glasgow Housing Association trading as NG Homes and [[Glasgow Housing Association]].

[[Maryhill]] consists of well maintained traditional sandstone tenements. Although historically a working class area, its borders with the upmarket West End of the city mean that it is relatively wealthy compared to the rest of the north of the city, containing affluent areas such as [[Maryhill Park]] and [[North Kelvinside]]. Maryhill is also the location of [[Firhill Stadium]], home of [[Partick Thistle F.C.]] since 1909. The [[Scottish Junior Football Association|junior]] team, [[Maryhill F.C.]] are also located in this part of north Glasgow.

The [[Forth and Clyde Canal]] passes through this part of the city, and at one stage formed a vital part of the local economy. It was for many years polluted and largely unused after the decline of heavy industry, but recent efforts to regenerate and re-open the canal to navigation have seen it rejuvenated, including art campuses at Port Dundas.

[[Sighthill, Glasgow|Sighthill]] was home to Scotland's largest [[asylum seeker]] community but the area is now regenerated as part of the Youth Olympic Games bid.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Nicoll |first1=Vivienne |title=Starting gun sounds for regeneration of Sighthill |url=http://www.eveningtimes.co.uk/news/starting-gun-sounds-for-regeneration-of-sighthill-158767n.23892373 |website=The Evening Times |date=8 April 2014 |access-date=26 August 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140826114753/http://www.eveningtimes.co.uk/news/starting-gun-sounds-for-regeneration-of-sighthill-158767n.23892373 |archive-date=26 August 2014 |url-status=live}}</ref>

A huge part of the economic life of Glasgow was once located in [[Springburn]], where the [[Saracen Foundry]], engineering works of firms like [[Charles Tennant]] and locomotive workshops employed many Glaswegians. Glasgow dominated this type of manufacturing, with 25% of all the world's locomotives being built in the area at one stage. It was home to the headquarters of the [[North British Locomotive Company]]. Today part of the [[Glasgow Works]] continues in use as a railway maintenance facility, all that is left of the industry in Springburn. It is proposed for closure in 2019.<ref>[https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-46545455 180 jobs under threat at Glasgow rail services firm] {{Webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181217133740/https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-46545455 |date=17 December 2018}} ''[[BBC News]]'' 12 December 2018</ref> [[Riddrie]] in the north east was intensively developed in the 1920s and retains several listed developments in the Art Deco style.
