Economic Development Strategy
Glasgow City Council is one of the principal agencies responsible for the development and implementation of the city’s new economic development strategy, A Step Change for Glasgow. Launched in November 2006, the Strategy sets out the city’s ambitions for growth over the next 10 years.
Our ten year vision for Glasgow is “a world-class city achieving its potential to deliver sustainable wealth and well-being for all its citizens”.
Three strategic priorities define the ambition as well as provide a framework for action:
- Move up the value chain: because successful cities need to become more specialised, innovative and productive;
- Shared prosperity: because growth should benefit all Glasgow’s citizens;
- Excellent economic environment: modern cities’ economic success relies on aligning the business, physical (including infrastructural), cultural and social environment so that innovation and growth can be supported better.
The Strategy is complemented by an action plan which outlines the range of activities under each of the 8 step change themes. A PDF version of the strategy can be downloaded below:
