...supporting our communities

World Cities Network has been invited by the City of London to facilitate the ‘communities’ theme. This will focus on how changing demographics - such as an aging population, immigration and cost of living may impact on the City.

“Developing a vision for the City of London is an enormously important task which can guide us in delivering a bright future for all our communities. Your contribution and involvement is greatly appreciated.” 

Fiona Woolf CBE, Lord Mayor
