A series of drop-in sessions are to be held next month showcasing development plans for Stirling.
The events will showcase details of three projects identified under the City Development Framework.
It is understood the schemes are worth £200 million.
In addition, they have the potential to generate over £80m per year for the Stirling economy and create 1,700 jobs.
The projects include a new Digital District in the heart of the city, a Civic Quarter at Forthside with a new Council headquarters as well as international visitor attraction, and a Grow-on Space to support SME's.
Council Leader Johanna Boyd said: "These plans will help revitalise both the city itself and the wider Stirling area and are about much more than just changing infrastructure.
"This is about real transformation - creating a world-class city, working to create better links between rural and urban, better enabling and revitalising our most in need communities, and creating a world-class centre of enterprise and opportunity."
Members of the public will be able to view the plans, including a 3D model of how they could transform the city centre landscape, from 2-8pm on the following dates:
• Mayfield Centre, St Ninians, Stirling, Tuesday, 02 February.
• Balfron Community Campus, Wednesday, 10 February.
• McLaren Hall, Killin Wednesday, 17 February.
• McLaren Leisure Centre, Callander, Tuesday, 23 February.
Further plans are still being developed to regenerate the Mercat Cross/ City Centre area; create a new conference centre and City Park; and develop the River Forth as a key tourist and leisure resource.
