A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
This concluding chapter searches for the lessons of London's unique journey since 1991 for other cities looking to achieve its success and avoid its mistakes. It captures the key ingredients of London's DNA – as a city of trade, an imperial capital, a gateway to Britain in a centralised country, an organically growing metropolis, a centre in a complementary region, and a hub with special relationships with the United States, the Commonwealth and the BRIC nations. It also points to the value of spirited democratic debate, of branding a city's assets, unifying public and private sectors around a common vision, and acting on evidence‐based scenarios of the future. The chapter closes with political and governance lessons for global cities that are preparing to reach the end of a cycle of globalisation‐driven growth.
