£30m kick-start for city's ancient heart

The Herald

The run-down historic heart of Glasgow is to be transformed by a £30m shops and housing development. It is hoped the mixture of shops and apartments at Glasgow Cross will help regenerate the area and broaden the boundaries of the Merchant City and build on that area's retail success. Glasgow City Council yesterday granted planning consent for the development on derelict land at the border of the east end which will become the project's cornerstone.
