We are delighted to be part of the Applecross Water team, one of three finalists selected in the C40 Reinventing Cities competition for the redevelopment of Applecross Wharf and Baird’s Brae on Glasgow’s Forth & Clyde Canal.

Led by CCG (Scotland) and Home Group, the multidisciplinary team brings together expertise in architecture, landscape architecture, sustainability and development to respond to one of Glasgow’s most significant regeneration opportunities.

The C40 Reinventing Cities competition, organised by Scottish Canals, Glasgow City Council and the C40 Cities network, seeks innovative approaches to creating climate-resilient, zero-carbon urban development. The Applecross Wharf site forms part of the continuing regeneration of Glasgow’s canal corridor and represents an important opportunity to contribute to the city’s future

Scottish Canals chief executive John Paterson expressed enthusiasm for the initiative: “We are excited to participate in the C40 Reinventing Cities competition. Our vision is to create ‘better lives by water’. While significant progress has been made in revitalising north Glasgow—establishing new blue and green spaces, connecting communities, and improving public health—our work is not yet complete. We remain committed to transforming Glasgow’s canal corridor with resilient, zero-carbon developments, and we look forward to seeing the unique solutions emerging from this competition.”

Being shortlisted is an exciting opportunity to work alongside a talented team on a project of international significance. Collaboration lies at the heart of our practice, and we value the opportunity to contribute our experience as architects as part of an integrated design team., which includes Stallan-Brand Architecture and Design and Carbon Futures.

We are proud to have reached the finalist stage of this prestigious international competition and look forward to the next phase of the process alongside our project partners.

We wish all the finalist teams the very best and thank Scottish Canals, Glasgow City Council and C40 Reinventing for the opportunity to be part of this exciting initiative
