The IFSD is a central part of plans for the regeneration of
Broomielaw being considered by Glasgow City Council.
The plans include proposals for a world-class River Park
along both banks of the Clyde; an examination of the impacts of the
M8 motorway on the area; establishing a vibrant mixed-use
riverfront community featuring high-quality contemporary design;
creating new public and green spaces; and instilling a
collaborative approach to attracting investment and
funding.
The draft identifies the IFSD as one of the Broomielaw's
existing strengths and also cites its tremendous potential in the
form of increasing developer activity and interest.
A public consultation on the currently draft proposals has
started and will run until 5 April, after which the final Framework
and Action Plan will be produced.
Encouraging participation in the consultation, Councillor
Susan Aitken, Leader of Glasgow City Council, said: "This is a part
of Glasgow that has enormous scope to influence the future
development of the city centre and the river corridor, so please
take the opportunity to help shape the final plans by taking part
in the consultation on the Broomielaw District Regeneration
Framework."

Framework can be found
