3.10 The River Clyde, Glasgows greatest natural asset, was the foundation on which the Citys industrial prosperity was built. The use of the River mirrored the decline in traditional industries in Glasgow, leaving a legacy of physical and visual dereliction. In recent years, development activity has drawn attention to the Rivers potential to once again play an important role in securing the future prosperity of the City.
The Aim for the River is:
to bring about substantial change in the nature and perception of the River, identify new functions for the River and its banks that will result in widespread sustainable regeneration and allow it to regain its place at the heart of the City.
The Strategy for the River involves:
the reconnection of the City with the River through improved, infrastructure, transport and design.
