Touring the Contour: Maryhill Regeneration

In the heart of Maryhill, where urban fabrics are inconsistent and derelict land prevails, a vision emerges, a multi-layered tapestry that weaves the hopes and aspirations of the community into the very fabric of the city. A 10-year plan unfolds, a transformation that will create a place of destination, a vibrant hub of social, physical, and economic vitality.

With the focus on central Maryhill, this neighbourhood-scale urban project seeks to revitalize the high street to its past glory, to breathe new life into forgotten places, to recreate lost-place memories, and resuscitate an essential part of Maryhill. The project aims to generate 852 new homes, a space for the flourishing of new families and the nurturing of a community spirit. Non-flat dwellings make up 37% of these homes, with the remaining 63% consisting of flats of varying densities, from high to low.

But this project is not just about creating new homes; it’s about creating a healthy environment for residents and visitors alike. It’s about rekindling the lost connection between people and their surroundings, bringing back the joy of walking, and creating a network of open spaces that interconnect in an overall walking tour scheme to provide ‘the Maryhill walking experience’.

This project is not just about bricks and mortar; it’s about weaving dreams and aspirations into the very fabric of the city. It’s about the healing power of community, the magic of a shared vision, and the hope of a brighter future.
