Waterfront regeneration
Clyde Waterfront is Scotland’s single most significant urban renewal project and development opportunity with around £5 - 6bn of public and private sector investment. Our 20 - 25 year plan for waterfront regeneration will transform one of the world’s most famous rivers.
Our vision is to develop a vibrant, thriving River Clyde with people and communities at its heart. 20km of the river will be transformed from Glasgow city centre to Dumbarton.
Since the Clyde Waterfront initiative was launched in 2003
- 17,000 jobs have been created and 2.8m sq ft of commercial and business space developed
- £1.46bn of public and private sector funding has been invested and a further £2bn is expected by 2011
The rapid development of housing, business premises and leisure facilities along the river means buoyant investment opportunities. The boost to the economy will help Scotland compete on an international stage.
