The Green Network approach seeks to create a series of connected, complementary and high quality greenspaces across the Glasgow Metropolitan Region.
Green Networks can provide multiple benefits:
- Encourage stronger communities by creating places to be proud
of
- Improve health by supporting active lifestyles and enhancing a
sense of well-being
- Support biodiversity and environmental sustainability by
creating connected habitats
- Stimulate enterprise and boost local economies by increasing
confidence in areas
The Clyde
Waterfront Green Network provides particular opportunities to
enhance existing green corridors to provide more connections
between Greater Glasgow's communities and the wider
countryside.
A series of Green Network Projects has been
identified to take forward the network, along the Clyde
Waterfront.
While Clyde Waterfront is home to greenspaces of exceptional
quality and character, such as Glasgow Green, Kelvingrove Park and
Victoria Park, there are many spaces which are of much poorer
quality. These will be the priorities for improvement and will link
to wider regeneration initiatives.
