3.2 The Plan seeks to influence positively the future well-being of the City by setting a number of strategic aims for People, Jobs, Infrastructure, Environment, the City Centre, the River and the Areas of Focus. These strategic aims are refined by more specific targets and proposals for delivery in the first five years of the Plan and are set out in subsequent sections of Part 1. Supporting these specific proposals are a series of Development Policies, Supplementary Guides and Design Standards, set out in Part 2, that will guide the development control process and help shape the City over the next 20 years.

3.3 The development strategy emphasises the reconnection of the social, physical and economic fabric of Glasgow. At its heart, is a commitment to achieving the highest possible outcomes through design standards and development policies.
