Our mission
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 15 year project, Clyde Waterfront will represent billions of pounds of public and private investment, focusing on six key areas along the 13 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.
