| Comment | Yep 100%. There are routine and long-term issues in this city (as with any city really) of which we're all aware, but there's a huge amount of change going on and planned for the next few years in Glasgow that either isn't widely known, or is being reported only in a piecemeal way.
I'm totally aware I sound like a council-shill here, but when you add it all up the city could well look dramatically different within just 5-10 years:
* the 12+ "Avenues" projects
* the "City Way" cycle lanes which will *eventually* be on every major road out of the city
* the re-population plan for city centre neighbourhoods
* the office construction in the IFSD, Tradeston, Broomielaw
* the massive regeneration and effective reconstruction of Sighthill into a semi-urban neighbourhood, one of the biggest urban neighbourhood regeneration projects of its kind anywhere in Europe
* the similar regeneration and rehousing of Laurieston/Gorbals, Calton and Govan (with the planned footbridge to Partick).
* the plans supported/endorsed by the Connectivity Commission
* the the recent Scottish law change that allows city's greater control over bus networks)... the city could be a dramatically different place in just 5-10 |
