London bigger and better?

This book was prepared from material that came out of the London Development Workshops, a Higher Education Innovation Fund (HEIF) funded project of the LSE London Research Centre. The project consisted of a series of conferences, work- shops and seminars which brought together stakeholders in key debates on London's economic, political and social development. Drawing on LSE's research strengths, networks and reputation for contributing to robust public policy, the London develop- ment workshops helped to transfer knowledge and expertise from universities across the UK at the point where policy formation, economic development and business activity converge around particular issues. Workshops were held at LSE on London's housing, governance, demography, transport, education, media and economy.
