The construction from Broomielaw/Clyde Street will see the introduction of high-quality public realm to welcome visitors through one of the key gateways connecting people along the river from the city centre to Glasgow Green and ties in with other sustainable developments.
The Avenues programme forms part of the City Centre Strategy. The priority of this programme is about creating inclusive and sustainable space for people through quality public realm, green infrastructure and innovative technology.
