City of London '...is competitive and promotes opportunity'
Key facts and figures
Green and Tonic have been asked to take the lead on the next City Vision 2050 workshop - '...is competitive and promotes opportunity'. The project looks at how the City of London needs to position itself between now and 2050. This session will look at the business issues surrounding this, and how the City can be competitive and promote opportunity whilst meeting the challenges of increasing urbanisation and need to act in more sustainable ways.
To understand this challenge, we will be doing a combined wine tasting, speed networking and policy session to come up with a few innovative ideas that the City can consider for how it operates in the future. The following four issues will be considered during this workshop:
1. What does the City need to remain relevant from a business
perspective?
2. What are the transport
and infrastructure challenges and opportunities?
3. Building a smarter city - engaging
citizens, education and immigration
4. What are the big macro challenges (political, environmental)
that exist for the City?
