THE transformation of Scotland's urban waterfronts has led to
more than £4 billion of investment, with almost the same amount
again predicted to be generated in the next five to 10 years.
A major international conference in Glasgow heard that in the last
decade projects along the Clyde, Tay and Forth rivers have seen
significant private and public sector investment.
Clyde waterfront development is said to have been Scotland's most
successful, raising £3.5bn in investments for a 13-mile
stretch.

In less than a decade the regeneration of the city's waterfront
has triggered billions of pounds of investment and created
thousands of jobs.
Breathing new life into the banks of the river has so far
triggered £2bn of investment with another £1.5bn committed, and
generated more 20,000 new jobs, 9000 new homes and 250 projects by
the public and private sectors.
By 2028, it's predicted that regeneration work has the potential
to 50,000 jobs, 24,000 new homes and millions of metres of office,
industrial, retail and leisure space.
