Glasgow grew from the medieval Bishopric of Glasgow and the later establishment of the University of Glasgow in the 15th century, which subsequently became a major centre of the Scottish Enlightenment in the 18th century. From the 18th century the city also grew as one of Britain's main hubs of transatlantic trade with British North America and the British West Indies. With the Industrial Revolution, the city and surrounding region shifted to become one of the world's pre-eminent centres of Heavy Engineering,[4] most notably in the Shipbuilding andMarine engineering industry, which produced many innovative and famous vessels. Glasgow was known as the"Second City of the British Empire" for much of the Victorian era and Edwardian period.[5][6][7] Today it is one of Europe's top twenty financial centres and is home to many of Scotland's leading businesses.[8] Glasgow is also ranked as the 57th most liveable city in the world.[9 ]5.39.217.77:88989 y9 ?2 f8 s: U4 h2 j+ y, L% j- t
