C40, Reinventing Cities is a global competition for zero-carbon and resilient urban projects, and an opportunity for Glasgow City Council and Scottish Canals to showcase sustainable development which celebrates innovative solutions to environmental and urban challenges.

Scottish Canals has submitted two areas for development around Applecross Street (North Glasgow) and the competition offers the chance to unlock the potential of the canal at Applecross Street to further create a vibrant neighbourhood for people to live, work and visit whilst allowing us to ensure that the heritage of the site is respected and celebrated.

Scottish canals will ensure that the heritage of the site is respected and celebrated, and that the community involvement brought to the nearby Claypits informs the project process going forward.  

Scottish Canals will provide updates on this exciting development as it progresses.
