Introduction:

London has a highly productive global economy, and is also an increasingly expensive and congested place to live or do business (by 2016, population is projected to grow by 800,000). Much of London’s economic strategy depends on the physical and infrastructure issues in the spatial strategy (London Plan); many social inclusion measures depend on government schemes such as New Deal for Communities and Sure Start, and local environmental measures largely depend on the 33 London Boroughs.

The London Plan aims for ultra-efficient new and existing buildings, though much depends on complex coordination of local efforts and the level of sustainability in London’s 1,400 neighbourhood centres.
