Changes to the CBD

 What changes have taken place in the CBD over the last 40 years? (take 2 minutes and discuss it with your partner)

Changes to the CBD  Streets have become pedestrianised (there is no cars) to make them safer for shoppers. (Think of Buchanan street)  This will make it more pleasant with less noise and pollution from traffic..

Changes to the CBD  Closed streets within the CBD and pedestrianisation - increases pedestrian safety, discourages through traffic, makes shopping more pleasant.  (Buchanan Street)

Changes to the CBD

Altered road network to include one-way systems/bus/taxi lanes and cycle lanes - leads to smoother traffic flow and may encourage commuters to use public transport

Changes to the CBD  Many old buildings have been redeveloped or knocked down so there will be many new buildings.

Changes to the CBD  Modernised city centre shops, including new shopping malls - makes shopping more comfortable and counters the shift of shopping trends to out-of-town centres.  (St Enoch’s and Buchanan Galleries)  /newsid_ / stm?b w=bb&mp=wm&news=1&ms3=6&ms_java script=true&bbcws= /newsid_ / stm?b w=bb&mp=wm&news=1&ms3=6&ms_java script=true&bbcws=2

Changes to the CBD  New offices have been built as the city tries to sell of the expensive land to large wealthy companies. (HSBC at the bottom of Buchanan street)

Changes to the CBD  The CBD has become a 24 hour city with good lighting throughout the night and lots of attractions to bring people there late at night.

Changes to the CBD  Many multi story car parks have been built. This helps to reduce cars on the street and helps improve traffic flow.
