London in the New Economic and Political Environment is the fifth in a series of projects funded by the Higher Education Innovation Fund (HEIF IV). Like past years, this event and publiacation-based programme addreses relevant issues pertaining to London and contributes to policy, analysis and practice by incorporating and disseminating feedback from key London actors from the academic and private and public sectors.
This year's seminars and workshops will concentrate on London's sustainability, in economic, financial and environmental terms, in the new economic environment. They will mantain and extend their well defined role in facilitating research output, knowledge transfer and in helping to inform and shape current debates. They will develop a comparative perspective through collaborations with LSE's Spatial and Economics Research Centre and LSE Cities, as well as internationally with Science Po. This year's project will also produce a number of research briefs on topics such as governance issues in the light of national and local election results; public expenditure in London; the new London housing allocations; aspects of the new London Plan and the implications of the Transport Plan.
