Key locations for action
Billions of pounds of public sector investment have been earmarked for the Clyde's regeneration over the 20 - 25 years of the Clyde Waterfront project. Clyde Waterfront's plan focuses on 6 key areas along the river corridor, from Glasgow Green to Dumbarton and already substantial change can be seen in many of the target areas:
Glasgow City Centre - developments on the waterfront are bringing new life to the Broomielaw and Tradeston, to the west of the city centre.
Pacific Quay & SECC - A new digital media campus is developing rapidly at Pacific Quay, with the BBC’s new Scottish HQ which opened in 2007. Meanwhile, the SECC site is earmarked for expansion; plans are in place to build a new 12,500 seater arena as part of the growing complex. These areas will be enhanced with better transport links.
Greater Govan & Glasgow Harbour - a £1.2 billion investment programme is transforming 130 acres of former dockland into a world-class waterfront location.
Renfrew Riverside & Scotstoun - the Braehead Shopping Complex is already established as one of Scotland's top retail destinations. The retail-led mixed use regeneration sets the standard for successful renewal of a brownfield site. Commercial, retail, leisure and residential developments are being attracted into the area.
Clydebank and Erskine - The new Clydebank College campus has opened on the former John Brown shipyard site with office pavilions designed to attract businesses into the area. The town centre’s links to the riverfront are being improved and housing projects are underway.
Old Kilpatrick to Dumbarton - This pleasant riverfront district has considerable potential for future development. In Dumbarton industrial land around the harbour and on the edge of town is being transformed with new commercial and residential developments.
