Shopping will remain “a critical part of the mix” in Glasgow city centre as plans to revamp key streets progress, a property expert has predicted.
The council’s proposals include increasing the population, with a target of 1,350 flats, and it hopes to make the city centre “more resilient, diverse and green in the future”. She said: “A more vibrant city centre — with improved cultural attractions, nicer public spaces, thriving bars and restaurants — is good news for retail.
New public spaces could be created at Buchanan Galleries, with the Sauchiehall Street section of the centre removed, and hundreds of homes and a hotel are planned on the St Enoch Centre site.
