An early look at Centre for London’s new research on London’s role in levelling up – from powering national growth to tackling its own inequality problems.
This panel takes a critical look at the narrative surrounding London’s relationship to the rest of the country. How can we challenge misconceptions and change perceptions? This includes looking at ways the capital can maximise its contribution to the UK’s economic success.
Break
Paul Scully MP on how central government can work in partnership with local leaders to help the city thrive and make London work for the whole country.

This panel explores ways to use different transport methods to build a more inclusive and sustainable transport system.
A shortage of good quality and affordable housing is one of London’s biggest challenges. This panel explores how to get affordable, secure and decent homes for all Londoners.
