By concentrating on the Clyde's attributes and opportunities we can accelerate the rejuvenation of the whole Glasgow region and beyond.
Working in tandem with the private sector and local community
groups, we aim to create an internationally competitive 'central
belt' for business, employment, living and tourism.
Throughout the 20 - 25 year project, Clyde Waterfront
will represent billions of pounds of public and private investment,
focusing on six key areas along the 20 km river corridor. As a
result, the plan has the potential to create more than 50,000 jobs,
along with thousands of new homes and commercial
accommodation.
Our strategy focuses on a number of key ares for action,
including:
- connecting disadvantaged communities to new economic
opportunities
- physical renewal to help create attractive communities for
living and working and help retain talented people in Scotland
- the creation of thousands of new jobs and training
opportunities
- encouraging growth of modern industries such as digital media,
biotechnology and financial services, while also helping to
re-energise traditional riverside industries such as
shipbuilding
- developing new transport links which will be at the heart of
the Clyde's rebirth, connecting the riverfront to the city region
and beyond.
