4 LONDON’S ECONOMY The London Plan July 2011 – RTF version 4.1 This chapter sets out policies to support delivery of the Mayor’s vision and objectives – particularly those to ensure that London is: • A city that meets the challenges of economic and population growth in ways that ensure a sustainable, good and improving quality of life and sufficient high quality homes and neighbourhoods for all Londoners, and help tackle the huge issue of deprivation and inequality among Londoners, including inequality in health outcomes; and • An internationally competitive and successful city with a strong and diverse economy and an entrepreneurial spirit that benefit all Londoners and all parts of London; a city that is at the leading edge of innovation and research, and which is comfortable with – and makes the most of – its rich heritage and cultural resources. These policies will support development and growth of London’s diverse economy over the years to 2031, enable it to contribute to the prosperity of the UK and provide Londoners with the goods, services and job opportunities they will need. 4.2 This chapter, which complements the Mayor’s Economic Development Strategy (EDS), deals with the needs of different sectors of the economy and their workspace requirements. It also provides a policy base for innovation, with support for new and emerging economic sectors and a ‘connected’ economy. Making sure all Londoners are able to share in their city’s success is a key priority, and this chapter deals with the contribution planning policy can make to improving opportunities for all Londoners. Economic Context POLICY 4.1 DEVELOPING LONDON’S ECONOMY Strategic A The Mayor will work with partners to: a promote and enable the continued development of a strong, sustainable and increasingly diverse economy across all parts of London, ensuring the availability of sufficient and suitable workspaces in terms of type, size and cost, supporting infrastructure and suitable environments for larger employers and small and medium sized enterprises, including the voluntary and community sectors b drive London’s transition to a low carbon economy and to secure the range of benefits this will bring c support and promote outer London as an attractive location for national government as well as businesses, giving access to the highly-skilled London workforce, relatively affordable work space and the competitive advantages of the wider London economy d support and promote the distinctive and crucial contribution to London’s economic success made by central London and its specialist clusters of economic activity Page 107 of 310
