Glasgow City Council is delivering an active travel strategy designed to achieve significant modal shift. A key output will be the City Network, which will provide an accessible, safe, coherent and direct active travel network across Glasgow.

The City Network, to be delivered by 2030, will connect key amenities and drivers of travel such as education, commerce and culture.

The development of the Neighbourhood Network will enable easy everyday active journeys within and between neighbourhoods, with a focus on walking.

The strategy is framed by three policy and action areas:

• Connectivity, people and place: rebalancing our streets and spaces – focusing on networks and infrastructure in our street environments,

• Unlocking change: enabling everyone to walk, wheel or cycle – focusing on training and education and working collaboratively,

• Thinking differently: encouraging, motivating and sustaining change – focusing on communication and promotion and inspiring people through larger events and other activities.

The City Network and Neighbourhood Network will be co-created as part of Liveable Neighbourhoods Programme at a multi-neighbourhood level. A second event, to take place in February 2022, will focus on the Liveable Neighbourhoods Plan.
