Housing along the Clyde
We are committed to investing in sustainable housing to meet local needs. The renewal of the waterfront is expected to create over 20,000 new homes. 6,000 new homes have already been created between 2003 and 2008. It is critical that they are integrated with existing communities to ensure urban cohesion. A proportion of these homes will be affordable homes for rent or shared equity purchase through the Homestake scheme. This has been achieved in the past through schemes such as the Crown Street initiative in the Gorbals.
better neighbourhoods
Working with our all partners, we have identified a programme of community regeneration action totalling more than £100 million over 20 - 25 years. This activity will ensure that neighbourhoods are engaged in the entire redevelopment process.
Our plans also need to take account of the historic buildings and public space along the river, using them imaginatively to benefit local residents and making the Clyde a safer, cleaner and more welcoming place to live.
