How would you improve Cowcaddens?

What projects do you think would make a difference?

What would you support and like to see happen?

An Action Plan and Framework for the regeneration of Cowcaddens is currently being prepared by a consultant team appointed by Glasgow City Council. We want your input to help shape and influence the priority projects to improve Cowcaddens.

Cowcaddens, alongside Townhead, the Learning Quarter and the Merchant City, is the focus of the current phase of (Y)our City Centre District Regeneration Frameworks. And now is the time to have your say.

Sign-up for the event on Wednesday 24 March, pick the bits that interest you most and work with the project team to develop proposals and ‘co’design’ ideas.

All events are free to attend and will be held on Zoom.

The day will kick-off with a Co-Design Day Launch at 10.00am with a series of exciting workshops taking place throughout the day (times and sign-up details for each session listed below). We will wrap up the day event with a Report Back session where the (Y)our City Centre team will report back on day's findings.
