”Maryhill North TRA, Glasgow is a powerful example of landscape-led regeneration. It transforms a fragmented and underused site into a connected, resilient, and inclusive neighbourhood. The project demonstrates how green infrastructure can be used not only to solve technical challenges but also to create identity, support wellbeing, and drive social and economic renewal…. The design is inclusive, place-sensitive, and deeply rooted in landscape-led thinking. It transforms a fragmented and challenging site into a coherent, connected neighbourhood.

The designs work with the natural topography of the site and the landscape design takes precedence and will inform the future architectural design of the buildings.
The management of Glasgow’s generous rainfall has been resolved via a water-management strategy that also enhances civic and domestic spaces through the creation of channels, ponds, and wetlands.
”As the only Transformational Regeneration Area in Glasgow led by a landscape architecture practice, [Maryhill North] highlights the critical role landscape architects can play in urban regeneration, showcasing their ability to deliver multifaceted benefits... This is the type of project (led by a landscape architect) that we need to see much more of across the country.
