Ian Manson has been named as the new chief executive of Scotland's biggest-ever regeneration project.
Manson, who has worked extensively in UK public-sector planning and regeneration, most recently at Glasgow city council, will take over as head of the Clyde Gateway Urban Regeneration Company with immediate effect.
The Clyde Gateway project aims to deliver 400,000m2 of business space, 21,000 jobs and 10,000 new homes over the next two decades, revitalising one of Scotland's most deprived areas. This will run in conjunction with preparations for the 2014 Commonwealth Games, which are to be based in the area.
Manson, 48, was part of the inner-city regeneration team in Birmingham in the early 80s, before leading the urban regeneration programme in Monklands, Strathclyde.
Since 1991 he has worked at Glasgow city council, with positions including head of corporate policy and senior deputy director of development and regeneration services.
