I really hope this is well spent. Such a good opportunity. Please do not copy other waterfronts in Scotland and avoid dominating the place with car parking, a a la transport museum. You can do it Dundee!!

@#1 Strongly agreed. Unless there is the absolutely necessary provision of designed/integrated underground/multi-storey car parking you will be looking at a failed environment and experience.

Bugger the Athens of the North. I would suggest humbly and strongly that there is no reason why Dundee can't learn from the whole Marseille roadside/quayside/infrastructure and Mucem experience and become the Marseille of the North.

Fanciful? Why not!? What else is there to do!? Anyone for a peh?

Well said Alan. Marseille is a fantastic example of what could be achieved.

Yes they do say that Dundee is the Marseille of the North.

Marseille.... Really? Have any of you lot ever actually been to Marseille? Oh Putain!

Yes, twice actually and the waterfront is truly great. The quality of new buildings is amazing.

Marseille?

Wit ur yoo lot on aboot. Whit is this obsession yoo lefties have with referencing things ye hink ur cool and edgy but are actually hideous an using it as the blueprint to 'develop' place makin'? Why is that the focus uv yer regeneration schemes fur Dundee? Why?

How about just building things which are essential -- schools, retail, museums etc but doing so with integrity and beauty? Doin' so in a way that please people -- the poeple who actually live there and not some hipster with a man-bun acting az a cultural-commentator on wit is right and wrang wae today's cities.

Dundee hiz a lot of beautiful stone built architecture awready built. Quaint. Nicely proportioned. It doesnae need to be patronised wae trynae tae act like Marseille -- which is an actual dump in maste parts.

But you concrete lovin' modernists want to "make Dundee like Marseilles" aw becoz you read an article on twitter saying how cool Marseille wiz and hink tae yersel, "aw, wouldnae it be great if some of this supposed Marseille swag was given tae Dundee". You associate development wae imposing trashy liberal art and culture ontae places.

And it's becoz of you lot Dundee is getting a big Jenga block museum on its waterfront. Wonky angles. Weird spaces. The usual lefty stuff.

Why no take inspiration frum yer aen success stories? Broughty ferry anyone? Or is that too traditional an lackin' in the white render, zinc-clad roof aesthetic fur you lot?

Oi Big Chantelle! Get here now. You have forgotten to take your meds again. Each time you forgo them you know you start making spurious, nonsensical, rambling and repetitive claims. The good people have had enough of your tosh.

That's a lot of yachts! There aren't that many on the Tay as it isn't that great for anything other than club dinghy and small keel boat sailing and is a long way from the sea for cruising yachts. Add to that the cost of operating a lock entrance to the harbour and it just doesn't seem viable as a marina.

You can't force a place to be something it's not? Whatever they build needs to be sustainable
