Abstract
This chapter provides a case study of the work of Glasgow 2000, which is a long-established alliance of public, voluntary and academic sector organisations established in 1983 with the aim of making Glasgow a smoke-free city by the year 2000. In narrative style it describes the background, formation, activities and results of the alliance, analyses influences on the alliance and discusses its future directions. The chapter draws on formal and informal evaluations of Glasgow 2000’s work and personal observations over eight years as alliance co-ordinator.
