Introduction

• Clyde Gateway is a major regeneration project covering the inner east end of the City and crossing the River Clyde to include parts of South Lanarkshire. It extends to approximately 830 hectares (2050 acres).

• There were 5 main partners involved in the strategic development of the project, namely:

• Glasgow City Council

• Scottish Enterprise National

• Scottish Enterprise Glasgow

• Scottish Enterprise Lanarkshire

• South Lanarkshire Council

However, since the preparation of the business plan, Communities Scotland has been invited to play a full part of the emerging project strategy and is regarded as a full partner. Other organizations may also be invited to participate at partner level once the strategy is more defined.
