Location:
Glasgow City Centre, Merchant City
Description:
The Merchant City has been transformed with new signs and street designs.
This public realm project revitalised an area around the former Sheriff Court building and transformed historic settings in the area.
It aimed to creatively redesign the streets once-dominated by traffic and turn them into pedestrian-friendly spaces for people to walk through, sit and enjoy.
New high quality tourist signs, made of stainless steel, vitreous enamel and granite, have been installed to guide visitors to tourist venues and commercial centres and encourage a walking ethos.
The majority of the work has now been completed, but council chiefs say more innovative projects are in the pipeline.
