Consultation sessions on proposals for redevelopment at Custom House Quay and Carlton Place in Glasgow city centre will begin on October 9.
The locations on each side of the River Clyde are part of the City Deal Clyde Waterfront and West End Innovation Quarter Programme, which aims to regenerate the river front.
The quay walls have reached the end of their lifespan and need to be replaced, with a £25m river park also planned.
A built-out area of 20 metres is planned outside the A-listed Custom House, while the south side of the river at Carlton Place will be revamped with a new 500 square metre green space, with proposals to introduce new accessible pathways, public realm and amenities, including a play area.

The first session in the City Chambers will take place between 11am - 2pm on 9 October, with the second running from 5-8pm. There will also be an online survey from the morning of 9 October - running until 26 October - that will allow those taking part to find out more information and give feedback on the proposals.
A second phase of statutory public consultation will take place in early 2025, when people from across the city will have the opportunity to see how their input has informed the design of the riverfront prior to the submission of the planning application.
Full planning approval is estimated by late Summer / Autumn 2025.
Construction work for new quay walls and landscaping is anticipated to start in 2027 following a period of technical design development and a procurement process for the works contract.
Councillor Susan Aitken, Leader of Glasgow City Council and Chair of the Glasgow City Region Cabinet, said: "The Custom House Quay and Carlton Place project will transform a historic part of the waterfront in Glasgow city centre.
"These are very exciting proposals for a new and unique city destination, and the consultation sessions will give those taking part the chance to both learn much more about them and give their views on what they would like from the final design and masterplan."
Funding will come from the Glasgow City Region City Deal which sees both the Scottish and UK Governments each provide £500million of funding for various infrastructure projects.
