The areas on either side of the River Clyde at Custom House Quay and Carlton Place will be drastically transformed under the proposal.
Both areas will become home to a new 'river park'.
Work on the nearly eight-hectare area will be led by Hawkins/Brown architects.
According to documents, it aims to “to enhance pedestrian and cycle connectivity along the river edge and to create active public spaces which bring vibrancy to the area”.
It adds: "Located on the River Clyde, the project presents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to meet our waterfront again and create a unique, resilient, and sustainable destination within the city."
The master plan calls for the upgrade of the quay walls, the cleanup and reopening of Carlton Place to the public, the creation of a river park and play parks and more.
Sketches of what the area could look like also include green spaces, including a civic and a creative place and new lighting on both sides of the river.
The plans state: "The majority of the 1970s structures and landscape features will be removed.
"This is because they are either in poor condition or have a negative impact on the site in terms of lines of sight, its sense of safety and its accessibility, as well as making it difficult for the repair of the quay wall."
The bid also includes plans for rainfall features, which would "play on the positive part of the climate".
