The proposed London Plan sets a more openly pro-growth direction than the current framework.

London cannot be the best city in the world to do business in if it is also one of the most expensive.

It identifies a systemic misalignment between workforce skills and business needs, alongside infrastructure delivery challenges, as the primary barriers to sustainable economic growth.
