| Comment | > We both agree we need to get people back into the city. You think more people living there is the answer, I think giving people good reasons to be in the city is the answer. As with all things I'm bet it's a little from column a and a little from column b.
Ultimately, we're actually in agreement about both these things to be honest. I think we need to do both, and thankfully, we're finally at a point in time where the council and independent actors (through financial incentive no doubt) are working on both.
You've got gap sites filling in like nobody's business. Candleriggs and Holland Street stand out but there are many more. Talk of major redevelopments of Buchanan Galleries & St Enoch Centre, etc. More flats, more people living in the town. As we've been discussing.
But the council also has a series of [well developed plans for the next 10 years](https://www.glasgow.gov.uk/index.aspx?articleid=27557) to make the city centre a much more welcoming, inviting, pleasant place to spend time. Either as a resident or a visitor.
I can't help but be very optimistic about the future for the city centre with both these things happening. |
