East Centre ward is located in the city's inner east end, encompassing areas such as Calton, Bridgeton, and Dalmarnock. The district is primarily residential, characterised by tenement buildings and modern housing developments. Major transport routes, including the A74 and a main railway line, pass through the area. The ward is home to the Emirates Arena and Celtic Park stadium, a significant local landmark and venue.
The landscape is shaped by the River Clyde, which forms part of the southern boundary. Green space is provided by sites like Glasgow Green, one of the city's oldest public parks. The area has undergone considerable regeneration in recent decades, particularly around the Dalmarnock district. This has introduced new residential and commercial infrastructure to the existing urban fabric.
