Glasgow Harbour

Mirroring the London Docklands scheme, the old docks, and sites of old granaries, wharves and shipyards in Glasgow are being redeveloped into up-market residential apartments, office complexes and leisure facilities.

The former Garden Festival site is now home to the Glasgow Science Centre including Glasgow Tower (the tallest structure in the city and the spiritual successor to the Clydesdale Bank tower which was part of the Garden Festival).

There has been further development at this site, with new headquarters for BBC Scotland and Scottish Television at Pacific Quay forming the cornerstone of a new "media village".

Phase 1 of the Glasgow Harbour Project, by the Clyde Port Authority at the former Meadowside Granary, Yorkhill Quay and confluence of the River Kelvin in Partick, has consisted of high rise residential accommodation and the construction of a riverside walkway.

[9][10] In September 2006, the Clyde Arc road bridge opened to traffic, enhancing access to the South Bank at the SECC, while the existing Clydeside Expressway (A814) dual carriageway connects the Harbour area to Glasgow city centre and the Clyde Tunnel.

Phases 1 and 2 of Glasgow Harbour in 2011
The creation of Glasgow Harbour by Clydeport (formerly the Clyde Navigation Trust, and now part of Peel Ports) required the demolition of their massive Meadowside Granary complex in 2002.
