The V&A and Waterfront development will be just one part of an overhaul of Dundee, the council has announced.
A new report reveals that more than £391 million could be invested in capital projects in Dundee over the next five years.
It details long-standing development plans and outlines the public money that will be invested in them, and for the first time it also unveils a series of additional projects and proposals worth hundreds of millions of pounds.
They include feasibility studies that will see the council look at the investment needed to bring schools up to standard.
The focus will be upon five of the city’s primary schools with Dens Road, Clepington and Hillside likely to be among them.
There will also be consideration of further primary and secondary school investment, including the creation of new primary schools as part of the Menzieshill closure.
The deputy convener of policy and resources, Willie Sawers, said he was confident the investment outlined in the plan would “make a difference, not just to the built environment of the city but also to the lives of people in Dundee.”
He said: “The level of borrowing to fund these projects is within manageable levels and I am confident that the investment outlined in the plan will make a difference. For the first time we have broken the plan into themes to make it easier for people to see where capital money is being invested and what our priorities are.
“In all, the revised capital plan is a balanced, well-thought programme that is affordable and deliverable.”
As well as housing projects, the plan identifies investment in jobs and regeneration, children and families, recreation, culture, arts and heritage, health and social care, community safety/public protection, smart cities, digital and information technologies and sustainable city infrastructure.
Also detailed are coastal and flood protection works, sustainable transport plans and low carbon initiatives.
Mr Sawers added: “We also plan to continue with our successful council house-building programme and maintaining the investment in thermal insulation and tackling fuel poverty that has been successful and popular with our tenants and other householders.”
The spending plan will be debated by elected members next week, with the detail becoming apparent in the coming months.
