The City of Glasgow refers to the formal title and redefinition of Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland following the changes that occurred in 1996 leading from the Local Government etc. (Scotland) Act 1994. Prior to that date, and particularly before 1975, Glasgow was a parish within the county of Lanarkshire, as well as a city. Since most records of a genealogical nature are based on the parish structure, Glasgow is a far better page to consult than this one.

The description in the following Wikipedia article that starts from "Glasgow City became one of the newly created single tier local authorities in 1996..." explains the geographical alterations that went with the changes in the form of government.

Glasgow City Council is the local government authority for the City of Glasgow, Scotland. It was created in 1996 under the Local Government etc. (Scotland) Act 1994, largely with the boundaries of the post-1975 City of Glasgow district of the Strathclyde region.
