Opis

London has its social problems - this is evident from the increasingly unpleasant experience of daily life in the capital, from homelessness and unemployment to frustrating transport facilities and the general bad quality of the environment. However it is not only citizens of London who are suffering but the business community as well. London is having to face increasing competition from other European cities. There is growing appreciation and debate about these problems from companies, political parties, local government and community organizations. This book provides a solid analysis of what has gone wrong and explores policy directions that could make the city a more humane and liveable place.
