The Sauchiehall and Garnethill District Regeneration Framework features 80 proposed projects, including a bridge and park to be built over the M8 near Charing Cross.
A public consultation is also to be held on the framework which will begin on 20 November.
The Sauchiehall and Garnethill District is one of nine identified in the council's City Centre Strategy. Each has their own regeneration framework, identity and an 'avenues' programme to deliver public realm infrastructure.
The first phase of the Sauchiehall Avenue is currently at detailed design stage.

Proposed projects include: a park in front of the Mitchell Library, tree-lined sections of Sauchiehall Street, dedicated cycle paths on Bath Street and Sauchiehall Street; the upgrading of Garnethill Park, the redevelopment of Renfrew Street as an "Avenue for the Arts", a new car and cycle parking strategy, the creation of a "green street" at Blythswood Street/Rose Street and the closure of the very steep Scott Street to traffic and the creation of a people or recreation space.
Four strategic themes have been developed to provide a 'clear structure' to the Regeneration Framework for the district: a 'Living District', 'Local Distinctiveness', 'Connected & Mobile' and 'Vibrant District'.
Council Leader Frank McAveety, said: "This radical plan outlines an exciting new vision for the Sauchiehall and Garnethill District and a taste of what the city centre could look like in the future, setting the benchmark for modern, vibrant cities across Europe.
"These proposals will lead to improved public spaces and a better connected centre of Glasgow, fully able to capitalise on its unique assets and diversity. I look forward to the results of the forthcoming public consultation."
