Clyde redevelopment 'jobs boost'
The River Clyde from Pacific Quay
Housing developments are transforming the River Clyde
The redevelopment of wasteland on the banks of the River Clyde is reaping bigger than expected rewards, according to the group co-ordinating the project.

It is claimed the massive project could deliver more than 50,000 new jobs - 18,000 more than originally expected.

The Clyde Arc and BBC Scotland's new HQ at Pacific Quay are among the high-profile projects along the river.

Stretching from Glasgow to Renfrew and Clydebank, it is one of the UK's most comprehensive regeneration projects.

The full details were expected to be revealed at a major international conference in Glasgow.

WaterfrontExpo will look at how riverside developments are transforming cities across the world.

Delegates will get the chance for see for themselves what has been happening on the Clyde and in other Scottish cities.
