Venue: Royal Institution

Overview Programme Speakers Sponsors VENUE Live blog

In a time of rapid change, what is London's place in the world and how can it succeed as a global city?

Like other global cities, London has benefited from globalisation, but the growth that comes with it is putting huge pressures on infrastructure, amplifying inequality and driving a wedge between London and the rest of the UK.

Examining London’s place in the world post-EU Referendum vote,  The London Conference 2016 discussed how the capital can remain prosperous and well-connected while keeping growth inclusive. We also looked at London’s economic and social responsibilities to its citizens, and to the nation.
