Overview
As a continuation of the first City Centre Strategy, Getting Ahead of Change 2014-19, and the interim City Centre Recovery Plan 2022-24, the City Centre Strategy (CCS) 2024-30 is a non-statutory planning document focusing on the delivery of a range of actions supporting a more sustainable and greener city centre with more jobs, better transport options, and with a wider range of living opportunities.
The CCS 2024-30 sets out how the Council and its partners will work together over the course of this decade to meet the city centre's challenges, harness its successes, and strive towards a better city centre for all.
Objectives
The CCS 2024-30 sets out the basis for a shared narrative for Glasgow's city centre. It is based around three pillars which will enrich the inherited features of the city centre and shape a new cycle of shared opportunity. The pillars and associated "Big Moves" are:
- Magnetic Experience - River, Business Economy, Connected & Green Places, Culture and Heritage
- Front Door to Innovation - Innovation & Digital, Property, Well Being Economy
- Place to Live - City Centre Living, Net Zero
The CCS 2024-30 brings together the "Big Moves" and forms a plan of plans style approach that will transform Glasgow's city centre in the short to medium term and creates a unified vision supported by the transformative actions to be delivered by 2030.
The CCS 2024-30 maps the main objectives from many other strategy, policies and evidence-based reports from across the council family focussing on regeneration and strives to support several of the grand challenges set out in the Glasgow Strategic Plan 2022-2027.
