Celebrating 7 years since the Glasgow City Region City Deal was signed

 

The seven year milestone of the signing of the £1 billion City Deal agreement with the Scottish and UK governments – one of the largest City Deals in the UK – presents an opportunity to reflect on progress to date and on our future direction.
 
Our City Deal remains one of the most advanced in the UK, with all projects underway and a number already completed. We are fast becoming a City Region of Innovation – with our three emerging innovation districts all underpinned by City Deal investment. Further extensive funding and opportunity on the back of City Deal investment is further evidence of our successful partnership.
 
We are the fastest growing city region in the UK, with huge ambition and a proven track record in delivery. Our new Regional Economic Strategy, being developed in partnership with the eight partner councils and key government agencies, will shape our key focus and priorities. It will also provide an evidence base for investment decisions and for future funding bids to government - central to a green recovery and a catalyst for economic transformation for the Region, Scotland and the UK.
