CGAP Aims
• Reverse the physical detractors: derelict land, vacant shops, void housing and underused buildings; run down public space; lack of cohesion and connection.
• Build on Govan’s strengths: history, listed buildings, central riverside location, excellent transport links, resilient community.
• Take advantage of opportunities created by adjacent growth areas: emerging Innovation District - media quarter at Pacific Quay, Queen Elizabeth University Hospital and Glasgow University Campus
redevelopment; Glasgow Harbour; Riverside Museum; SEC & Hydro.
