River views
There have been a few interesting programmes on in recent weeks regarding the future of the Clyde - one on the Beeb and one on STV.
As evident by all the cranes everywhere, there are tons of things being built at the moment and the films give a brief taster into some of these projects. It was interesting to compare the approach of the two shows - the Beeb one was a bit more investigative and pessimistic, the STV one on the other hand was a bit too like a tourist promotion film. The truth probably falls someplace in between - one things for certain the Clyde is going to be very different in the future, hope its not all Luxury flats though.
I've not been able to find an online copy of the BBC film but the STV one is available to watch on their site.
[EDIT]
There is an interesting post by the Architect Neil Stephen, from Dualchas Building Design, on Scottish Architecture.com, about the Clyde redevelopment Click Here to read the post.

couldnt get part 2 to work.... but interesting stuff. from what i've seen so far im not convinced the clyde is going to be a place to meet, hangout, go for a stroll along. and i dont think its bridges connecting north and south they need, its bridges from the north bank, over the motorway, to connect with civilisation on the other side! (is partick considered civilisation) Sorry, shouldnt be talking about the glorious north on this blog :)
Part 2 is now working.
