Regeneration

Despite Edinburgh's economic and cultural success, there are areas in the city of persistent multiple deprivation.

The City of Edinburgh Council is investing in flagship regeneration initiatives to deliver vibrant and sustainable communities to these areas, particularly Granton and Craigmillar.

Public sector jobs can be an important catalyst in this process, as demonstrated by the Scottish Government's relocation to Victoria Quay, Leith in the early 1990s.

Through strategic, planned growth and deploying underused resources, each of the following regeneration projects will strengthen Edinburgh's reputation for providing a modern and attractive business environment, with spin-off benefits for the wider city region and Scottish economy.
