The Greater Easterhouse Green Infrastructure Project, funded by the Glasgow City Region City Deal and the GI Fund, worked to increase and enhance green spaces by introducing surface water management features that will reduce the risks and impacts of flooding as well as introducing a mix of habitats including wildflower meadows, wetlands, woodlands and grasslands.

The project improved open spaces through an integrated green and blue network in two focus areas – Cranhill/Ruchazie and Blairtummock, which together create a green finger connecting to the 7 Lochs Wetland Area. The project transformed some 29 ha within an area that has been identified as one of Scotland’s most socially and economically deprived communities.
