Between November 1 and 10, it will be an offence for people in Broomhouse, Govanhill and Pollokshields to set off fireworks.
The restrictions will apply to public and private land, including gardens, in these areas.
A consultation found there was "overwhelming support" for the zones in Broomhouse and Govanhill, as reported by BBC Scotland.
Council chiefs and local politicians hope the ban will curb pyrotechnic-related disorder and increase public safety, including protecting vulnerable residents and animals from loud noises.
Pollokshields Councillor Jon Molyneux, who has been campaigning for a city-wide ban, welcomed the restrictions.
He said: "After a deeply disappointing 'false start' last year it is good that a fireworks control zone is going ahead in Pollokshields, as well as in Govanhill and Broomhouse.
"It is vital that these restrictions are well-communicated so people know the rules and the consequences of breaking them.
"It is also important that they are part of a wider package of measures to prevent people misusing fireworks."
A fireworks ban was planned for Pollokshields last year following previous incidents of Bonfire Night disorder.
But Glasgow City Council missed the deadline and restrictions couldn't be enforced.

Several applications were also lodged for firework-free zones in Woodlands Park, Gartcraig, Crossmyloof, Robroyston, Drumchapel, Ibrox, Yoker and North Kelvin but they were rejected.
Edinburgh was the first local authority in Scotland to ban fireworks last August.
The Niddrie area of the capital has previously seen chaotic scenes around Bonfire Night, with emergency services workers previously targeted by thugs.
The decision was made following consultation responses from council officials, Police Scotland and the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service.

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE investigation into the death of a young fashion designer on a yacht in the Hamptons has taken a fresh twist as her family shoots down claims that she had cancer before her passing. The grief-stricken mom of bikini designer Martha Nolan O'Slattara, 33, insisted her daughter was "perfectly healthy" before she was found unconscious on a ritzy boat docked at the Montauk Yacht Club.

Durnan ran screaming down the dock for help, and Good Samaritans at the boat club performed CPR, but first responders pronounced her dead at the scene. Her cause of death wasn't determined immediately, but cops ruled out any signs of violence on her body. Speculation began to grow that drugs were involved in her death after a drug task force joined police in the investigation, and pictures of the boat taken the next day showed a mysterious white powder on the boat's seats. READ MORE ON THE CASE MONTAUK TRAGEDY Designer, 33, showcased jetsetting life before mysterious death on boat However, after sources close to the investigation said it was a suspected overdose, Nolan's family spoke out and said they never knew the Irish-born entrepreneur to be a person who used drugs. Now, Nolan's mom, Elma, has been forced to break her silence on more rumors surrounding her daughter's untimely death. In the days following Nolan's death, detectives reportedly called Elma to ask about claims that her daughter had brain cancer, the Irish Independent reported. Elma, who spoke to her daughter daily, was "stunned" by the claims. She told detectives her daughter was in perfect health. "She told them there was nothing of the sort [affecting her]," a source told the Irish Independent. Mystery Surrounds the Sudden Death of Fashion Designer Martha Nolan-O'Slattara in the Hamptons It's unclear where investigators got the information about Nolan's cancer. Nolan's family has traveled from Ireland to the US to demand a second-opinion autopsy after the first exam didn't determine a cause of death. The family has hired top lawyer Arthur Aidala to represent them following Nolan's death. Aidala, who previously represented Harvey Weinstein, said the family is working with cops to uncover more about Nolan's death. Timeline of Martha Nolan's death Young entreprenur Martha Nolan, 33, was found dead on a yacht in the Hamptons last Tuesday. Below is a timeline of her final days: Tuesday, August 5 Just after midnight, East Hampton police respond to a 911 call from a man who found a woman unresponsive on a docked boat at the Montauk Yacht Club. Good Samaritans attempt CPR but first responders pronounce her dead at the scene. Wednesday, August 6 An initial autopsy finds no evidence of violence. The woman is identified as Martha Nolan-O'Slattara. Thursday, August 7 Nolan's mom tells the Irish Independent that her family is "numb with shock." Tuesday, August 12 Suffolk County's East End Drug Task Force joins the investigation into Nolan's death. He said her family worries that if drugs were involved, then Nolan might have been slipped something. 'If there was any kind of drug and drug use, they want to know. Who's doing the drugs?' Aidala said at a press conference on Wednesday. He said police are still questioning people about the death. 8 Mysterious white powder seen on the Ripple the morning after Nolan died on board Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 8 Nolan and her boyfriend, Nicholas DiRubio Credit: TikTok/martha_nolan 8 Nolan on a trip to Saint Barthélemy in a picture posted in February 2024 Credit: Social Media Collect "There is still a very intense investigation focused on why a young woman is dead," Aidala said, the Irish Independent reported. He said her autopsy showed there were no signs of struggle, no defensive wounds on her hands, and no obvious signs of trauma. "The medical examiner is really focusing now on her blood and the other fluids that are being sent to toxicology to see what's going on," Aidala said. "There were rumors that she possibly had some form of brain cancer and that is being investigated as well." HEARTBREAKING LOSS Nolan, founder of swimwear brand East x East, lived in Manhattan's Upper East Side neighborhood and spent summers in Montauk to host pop-ups for her brand. The fashionista often showcased luxurious vacations and glamorous trips on private jets on her social media accounts. 8 Christopher Durnan, 60, who owns the boat that Nolan was found on Credit: Instagram 8 The Montauk Yacht Club where Ripple was docked Credit: Shutterstock Editorial She was having a late-night business meeting with Durnan, who reportedly has invested over $200,000 in her brand. Durnan is a widowed father of two adult children who owns a company that specializes in workers' compensation insurance. He didn't immediately return The U.S. Sun's request for comment. On the night of her death, her boyfriend, sales exec Nicholas DiRubio, was out of town. She reportedly texted him that she planned to take an Uber home at around 1 am. The 911 call reporting her unconscious was said to be just moments after she texted DiRubio. Nolan's toxicology testing results are expected to take up to three months.

Scots dad murdered in 'despicable' attack was planning to propose to girlfriend
Sean McKay had a one-year-old son with his girlfriend Chloe McCormick. A Scots dad who was murdered in a completely unprovoked attack was planning to propose to his girlfriend at the time of his death. Sean McKay, 23, was walking home from work when he was stabbed to death in Dalry, Ayrshire, on October 10, 2021. Gavin McVey was found guilty of murder following a trial at the High Court in Paisley and sentenced to a minimum of 21 years in prison. Police Scotland said McVey, 42, stabbed the young dad for "absolutely no reason other than his own wickedness". The knife caused damage to his liver, diaphragm and heart. Despite members of the public rushing to help, he was found dead at the scene. Sean's family have since taken part in a new Channel 5 documentary on the case called Murdered At First Sight. His girlfriend Chloe McCormick told the programme she found out after his death that he was planning to ask her to marry him. The couple had a son together, Oscar, who was just one-year-old at the time of labourer Sean's death. Chloe, 25, said: "I just miss his laugh, hearing his voice. He made everyone laugh all the time. "I have never moved on from it. Even now four years later I still think that there is nobody as good as him. "After Sean died I found out he was going to ask me to marry him. He had spoken about it with his closest friends. "I would have said 'Yes' definitely." Chloe also said the prison sentence given to McVey should have been longer. She added: "He was given 21 years but I've lost my partner, Oscar has lost his dad. It just wasn't enough." Relatives of Sean told how McVey has never explained his actions and treated them with contempt when they came face-to-face with him in court. The killer, who denied his guilt, shouted and swore and made an offensive hand gesture to the family as he was leaving the courtroom to begin his sentence. Sean's sister Simone said: "Gavin showed us all the middle finger as he went back downstairs after being found guilty. "It made us feel horrible but it showed his character." His mum Debbie said: "Gavin McVey didn't give any reason. There was no reason why he could have killed him. "He didn't even speak in court. I thought we would maybe get answers why (it happened). When the jury came back and said 'Guilty' it was brilliant. We all cheered." As the jury read out their unanimous verdict, dozens of Sean's family, friends and loved ones clapped, cheered and said 'thank you' to the jury. McVey denied his guilt throughout the trial and blamed another person who he was with for Sean's death. However the court heard how he sent a text to a pal stating: "I killed some c**t" following the incident. He had already attempted to cover his tracks by hiding the blooded knife in his mother's garden and disposing of his jacket before buying new clothes at a shop in Ayr.

Sentencing McVey, judge Lord Mulholland said: "You've been convicted of murder of Sean McKay - a young man with his whole life ahead of him. "He was on his way home from work when he encountered you under the influence of alcohol with a knife. "You've also delivered a life sentence of grief to his partner, son, mother, father, sister and other family and friends. "This was a senseless murder. What you did was despicable and cowardly." Murdered At First Sight will be shown on Channel 5 on Monday at 10pm.
