Description
London has enjoyed an extraordinary period of growth in the past generation, symbolised by the towers of Canary Wharf built on the skeleton of the old docks. Finance played a significant role in this growth, but its influence is now waning. The city's infrastructure-driven regeneration projects, such as Kings Cross and the Olympic boroughs, suggest a new direction for London's economy - one driven by accountants and geeks rather than bankers. However, the question remains whether this modest success will be sufficient to sustain the city's growth over the next 30 years. For that to happen, openness, improved global links, and decent housing are essential. The answer to London's future depends on these factors, which will determine whether the city can continue to thrive in the decades to come.
