Susan Aitken has denied Glasgow's reputation was tarnished by a long-running cleansing row and insisted "the world likes what they see" in the city.
The SNP council leader defended her time in office ahead of next week's local elections and said residents were already seeing improvements as services resume after lockdown.
Aitken became the first ever SNP leader of Scotland's largest local authority in 2017 by ending decades of Labour rule at the City Chambers.
