New grey paving, raised lawns, a sensory garden, rain gardens, and 16-meter light columns will transform the square into a vibrant, accessible hub day and night. After a scrapped 2013 plan, this iteration is more integrated and community-focused, avoiding past pitfalls. Statues removed for restoration in May 2025 will return starting July 2027. Despite delays from hidden infrastructure, the project is back on track to finish by August 31—coincidentally just before the council leader’s term ends. Designed for both quiet reflection and lively gatherings, this is the architect’s most refined vision yet: a lasting legacy for Glasgow’s heart.
