Centre for Cities

In the second of our three events looking at London up to 2030, this event focused on the future of London's labour market. Ian Ashman, Principal of Hackney Community College and Chair of Association of Colleges, and Mark Beatson, Chief Economist at CIPD join Alexandra Jones, Chief Executive of Centre for Cities to discuss the key challenges for London as it grows its economy and its private sector jobs. This discussion explores questions such as: how London's sectors are changing and where the jobs are likely to come from? How can the Capital support SMEs to grow and develop to create new opportunities, and how can it stay competitive in a global market?

London has grown substantially over the past two decades, but is it sustainable looking forward? Centre for Cities is hosting a series of events with Addleshaw Goddard asking how to support London's continuing economic and population growth. To complement the first discussion in which experts discussed a the challenges for London's transport network, Ben Harrison Director of Partnerships at Centre for Cities talks to David McNeill, Director of Public Affairs and Stakeholder Engagement, Transport for London and Stephen Joseph Chief Executive, Campaign for Better Transport about whether London is destined to fail in its battle to match capacity and what type of investment is required in the English capital.
