Glasgow had been known as "The Second City of the Empire",〔(The Second City of the Empire )〕 the population of the City of Glasgow unitary authority is 578,790.〔(The official population of Glasgow City Council unitary authority )〕 1,171,390 people live in the Greater Glasgow Urban Area based on the 2001 census.〔(www.gro-scotland.gov.uk )〕
Glasgow has never hosted such a large international sporting event as the Commonwealth Games, although Glasgow has hosted the 1978 IAAF World Cross Country Championships, 1990 European Indoor Athletics Championships and many European club football finals and many UK sporting events in the city.
Glasgow was originally announced as the Scottish candidate over Edinburgh (which hosted the Games in 1970 and 1986, and the inaugural 2000 Commonwealth Youth Games) following a cost-benefit analysis by the Scottish Executive.
