. ACES & Property Managers in Public Sector Presidential Conference 2013 Ian Manson, Chief Executive Clyde Gateway
December 2007 Clyde Gateway Urban Regeneration Company is formally established Partnership between Glasgow City Council (GCC), South Lanarkshire Council (SLC), Scottish Enterprise (SE) and the Scottish Government. Project with a lifespan up to 2028. Looking to achieve unparalleled social, economic and physical change across an area that is 840 hectares in size of which 350 hectares is vacant and derelict or has problems with infrastructure and contamination.
Why December 2007?? Decline in the area showing no sign of reversing while other parts of Glasgow were improving After 30 years in the planning, a new motorway through the area is finally given approval Glasgow won the right to host the 2014 Commonwealth Games : 17 sports, 6,500 athletes and officials Bid for the Commonwealth Games emphasised event would be catalyst for regeneration
What is Regeneration? “Regeneration is a set of activities that reverse economic, social and physical decline in areas where market forces will not do this without support from government” Definition is taken from the Review of sub-national economic development and regeneration, HM Treasury, Department for Business, Enterprise & Regulatory Reform, and Communities and Local Government: July 2007
Typical characteristics of communities/areas in decline High level of economic inactivity Outward Migration Ageing population Poor educational achievement Poor Basic Skills Poor Health Poor Housing Stock
