IMAGES have been released showing what a transformed Glasgow city centre could look like after regeneration plans were approved by councillors.
The so-called 'Golden Z' area of Glasgow city centre could be set for a major transformation
The plan for the so-called “Golden-Z” area of Glasgow – encompassing Argyll, Buchanan and Sauchiehall streets – targets specific “gap” sites which have been identified as being crucial to the success of the local area. The changing nature of retail and leisure trends, a growing city centre population, changes to how people shop and work post-pandemic, and the need to repurpose vacant sites have all been considered.Five objectives have been highlighted: Diversification of uses, densification and retrofit of land and buildings, creation of world-class public spaces, improving connectivity and accessibility, and ensuring inclusivity and appeal to a diverse range of users.
“Having a particular focus on this historic shopping area will help ensure it adapts to the changing retail sector and takes the opportunities coming its way.“The actions within the plan for the ‘Golden Z’ will support our efforts to encourage a more diverse mix of uses in the city centre, including new residential accommodation, as well as finding positive solutions for key sites and supporting the repurposing of vacant property.
