Here come the plans and the maps and the predictions for even more wide-scale economic, social and environmental improvements???

Clyde Waterfront

The River Clyde at Glasgow
A 15-year plan is underway to transform areas around the River Clyde into a vibrant area to live and work. Key projects - attracting a projected £1.67 billion worth of public investment - are being promoted by a range of partners, including Scottish Enterprise.

Supporters are confident their projects will create 33,000 jobs - 23,000 of them new to Scotland. They also predict the regeneration scheme will bring wide-scale economic, social and environmental improvements to the area and Scotland as a whole.

The Clyde Waterfront regeneration area covers eight miles of river - from Glasgow city centre in the east to the Erskine Bridge in the west. As well as business, leisure and housing developments near the river, the plans also include proposals for improved transport links and new bridges.
