• Project: Forth and Clyde Freight Canal - a strategy to re:animate the canal
• Location: Port Dundas, Glasgow
• Value: n/a

• Thesis Movie
• In Scotland, 2004, 53% of freight, 173million tonnes compared to 145million in 2003, was transported via road which resulted in increased congestion on the country's road infrastructure. With global warming on the world agenda, there is a need to reduce carbon emissions by encouraging more sustainable freight transport by rail and water.
• This strategy is providing a basis from which regeneration of the canal can be built upon at not just the local scale but also national and beyond. Port Dundas is one of many in the canal network of satellite transfer points. It is important to maintain the integrity of its heritage. The solution is to animate the water 'the bit in the middle', not just the occasional tourist boat but over a 24hr cycle by reinstating the canal as a freight route.

• Abstract:
• "In city streets and city centres, social activities will generally be more superficial, with the majority being passive contacts - seeing and hearing a great number of unknown people. But even this limited activity can be very appealing." Jan Gehl, Life Between Buildings
• The public realm plays an important role in urban life which contributes to the perceptions of urban memory. It brings a sense of togetherness in which spaces are valued as a place of shared experience. However, urban enjoyment is often neglected and places often lack a cultural cohesion. Within urban life we receive vast amounts of information which invoke our imagination to inspire new ideas and generate new perceptions.
