Comment | See my reply to OP.
It's not really the council's fault at all. Massive stretches of Glasgow's riverside is privately owned, and any development that has happened to date has come through individual instances of them parcelling up the land for sale or rent for new uses.
It's why nothing coordinated can be done with the river. A massive comprehensive riverside regeneration plan using empty land would need buy-in from the Peel Group, who would probably be happier either selling the land to property developers (as has been the trend), or better yet, sitting on it and watching the value increase. |
