Port Dundas Glasgow’s Canal Quarter

• Post-industrial mixed use neighbourhood

• Live, work, play, create • Up there and out there! • Local hubs • Innovative niche housing • Proactive delivery

Comparators, inspirations

• Western Harbour, Malmo • Milan Canal Quarter • Jewellery Quarter, Birmingham • Hafencity, Hamburg • Castlefield, Manchester

Castlefield, Manchester

Progressively mixed use • Continue transformation • Business, leisure, cultural, compatible with

(retaining walls, etc) • General scale 3-5 storeys • Car parking to accommodate different users. • High quality network of open and green spaces.

Housing

• approach providing market differentiation from Glasgow Harbour, city centre, Sighthill

• building and concentrating values in the area • differentiate housing types, emphasis on smaller

households rather than family? • combination of procurement models

traditional: enabling development in initial phases innovative: self-build, co-op etc. for niche markets

4. Improve Public Transport Access

Presenter

Presentation Notes

Improve penetration of bus services through site Need high frequency of service to attract patronage North-south and east-west linkages Divert existing services or develop new strategic services – linked to park & ride? Early pump-priming? Convenient bus stop locations

5. Develop Car Parking Strategy

6. Strategic Cycling Connections

7. Promote Sustainable Travel Behaviour

Scale + character + nodes

• mix of 3-5 storeys , rather than 8-10 • mid density • public realm nodes and features. • Important not to overdevelop and block out

views.

• running, walking, jogging – fountains, benches along canal, stretch points, exercise stations

• business, leisure, retail - a gym, shop for paddle sport activities, temporary restaurant • art installations – relationship with TWB, outdoor galleries • programming the corridor – events, publicity, attracting people

drainage and water systems

...with suds

Background legislation - outfalls into combined sewers now unacceptable localised surface water flooding NGIWM Study 2013 – water attentuation required at Port Dundas

Implications 6-10% of developable area topography, development types drive SUDS design integration with layout implications for Forth and Clyde canal

Surface water drainage

Phasing

the canal as a catalyst

Workshop review

• Identify elements you support, prioritise • Identify any concerns, reservations, risks

• Identify key further steps • Who needs to be involved in delivery • Any other issues?

Next steps

• Review feedback • Indicative costing & delivery model(s) • Complete Charrette report

• Approach to Supplementary Guidance content • Partners meet • Landowner/developer forum • Comparator visits
