Status and Competitiveness • London has gone through several distinctive phases of urban development culminating in adoption of development strategies set out over the last 5years Major phases of London development and urban policies over the last 50 years Post war recovery: 1/3 of London’s housing stock damaged during the World War II Blitz A growing exodus of businesses and people out of London moving into new towns. Many inner-city districts began to decline. Economic growth coupled with housing shortages lead to ever-increasing number of commuters Further growth increasingly hindered by lack of affordable office space and housing Future prosperity depends on effective use of finite resources and new construction in East London Urban development phases and issues 1950s – 1960s 1970s 1980s 1990s – 2000s 2010s 1981 2000 Post-war London overspill housing policy led to a rapid increase in the size of the town during the 1950’s and 1960’s The Greater London Council (GLC) initiated a number of large transport projects including the M25 ring around Greater London Area Long-term redevelopment of London Docklands begins London Docklands Development Corporation (LDDC) founded Direct elections of the Mayor of London marks significant changes in governance leading to creation of The London Plan Plans for extensive development of East London and Thames Gateway to accomodate the anticipated population growth and support the Olympic Games 2012 bid Urban development policies
Status and Competitiveness • There are a number of important internal and external developments driving evolution of strategies and urban development programmes in London Main Drivers Vision & Strategy of London (~2015 - 2020) Vision “A sustainable world city through strong economic growth, social inclusion and environmental improvement” Internal External Changes in the governance structure Multi-agency approach Long-term development strategies Population growth Cultural richness Limited industrial diversity Past underinvestment Global competition Environmental protection Competition from other UK cities regions Security threats Olympic games 2012 Objectives Prosperous economy by making the most of the London’s most successful sectors Efficient use of finite resources and energy Sense of safety and security, diversity and inclusion High standards of education, health and welfare Efficient, safe and comfortable transport systems Ready access to affordable homes Strategies Invest effectively and continuously in every physical aspect of the city and in its people Create a framework of comprehensive and coherent strategies for spatial and economic development, environmental issues, transport and culture
Agenda 1 Status and Competitiveness 2 Supporting London’s Growth Sectors 3 Large Scale Redevelopment Projects 4 Increasing the use of Public Transportation
Supporting London’s Growth Sectors • New growth sectors such as Creative Industries or ICT are increasingly contributing to London’s prosperity Future growth is likely to be more diverse Sector by size, productivity andemployment change (1995-2004) ICT* has been the fastest growing sector of London economy over the last decade with overall employment growth between 1994 and 2004 of 53% Professional Services** contributed £10bn while enjoying growth of 5.1% (2003) Creative Industries*** already generate £21bn and support about 500,000 jobs while enjoying average annual growth rates of 4.5% * Comprises the manufacture of hardware such as computers, telecommunications, hardware and software consultancy, maintenance and other computer related services ** Business and legal services, secretarial/translation services etc. *** Interactive leisure software, radio & TV production, design, music and performing arts, film, fashion etc. Financial Services Life sciences ICT Transport & Logistics Manufacturing Professional Services Retail Creative Industries Tourism & Leisure Employment size Source: KPMG/LDA: Understanding London’s Sectors (2003)
Supporting London’s Growth Sectors • London has worked on providing more coherent support to London’s most promising sectors including Creative Industries Creative Industries in London The Support Available 40 % of people in the UK’s creative industries The Greater South East now contains 62 % of UK jobs Support is provided on two conditions The sector in question has potential to contribute to the prosperity on sustainable basis, and There is a market failure effectively addressable by public sector intervention Approach to supporting Creative Industries The London Development Agency created its dedicated strategic agency - Creative London The agency draws companies and individuals together through numerous projects Focuses on supporting new enterprises, initial financing, suitable premises and contacts Employment in Creative Industries in London andrest of the Greater South East Source: London Development Agency: London’s Creative Sector.
Supporting London’s Growth Sectors • As in other cases London supports its Creative Industries through a dedicated strategic and funding agency Examples of support organisations in place Creative London • Launched in 2004 • Part of the LDA • Helps address bottlenecks to the success • Acts as a cohesive voice to represent the interests of the industry Experience so far • Welcome by the industries and viewed as a move in the right direction • Started several major initiative including: • ‘Creative Hubs’ • £50million seed fund • Sponsorship to over 40 distinctive projects Illustrative London Development Agency (LDA) 1 2 3 BioLondon Business Link for London Creative London BioLondon - Advises on interventions in the biotechnology sector Creative London - Strategic agency for London’s creative industries Business Link for London - Small business support and advisory 1 2 3
Supporting London’s Growth Sectors • London’s approach to developing competitive advantages by promoting innovation Co-operation betweenUniversities and Businesses Role of the London Government There are 5,800 researchers in London’s 40 universities and colleges Employment dominated by high value added services with little emphasis on research Businesses R&D accounts only for about 0.6% of London’s GVA, i.e. about half the UK/EU average To date collaboration remains bellow expectations Some on-campus incubators more successful Innovation Strategy and Action Plan • Promoting culture of innovation • Enabling businesses to innovate • Harnessing the knowledge base Support through • Business innovation centres • Incubators • Access to innovation finance • Networking among SMEs

Large Scale Redevelopment Projects – London Docklands (1981-1998) • The UK Government has established several partnerships to foster long-term regeneration plans of high importance to the capital city Regeneration of London Docklands: the London Docklands Development Corporation (LDDC) Situation in late was alarming 70s • Large job losses with the Docks closure • The extent of dereliction was severe and costs of development potentially high and uncertain • The market alone was unlikely to provide the improvements Solution: London Docklands Development Corporation (LDDC) • Founded in 1981 by the UK Government as an Urban Development Corporation • Wholly financed by the Government and from the disposal of land • It had powers to acquire land by compulsory purchase • Took over for planning activities from the London Boroughsbut not their planning powers Major achievements • 2.6 million m2 of commercial/industrial floor space built and 24,000 housing units • £7.7 billion in private investment on the back of £1.86 billion in public sector investment • 1,066 acres of land sold for redevelopment
Large Scale Redevelopment Projects – London Docklands (1981-1998) • Evaluation of success of the London Docklands regeneration programme and the LDDC reveals some important lessons Summary Findings Major Implications • LDDC managed mainlyby • Clearing and servicing sites • Provision of integrated transport infrastructure • Flexible and speedy planning decisions • Housing- Highly successful in addressing the market failure • Transport - Accelerated process for construction through its planning and land acquisition powers the LDDC • Community Development - Only 7% of the LDDC's net expenditure was spent on community services • Relationship with Stakeholders - Initially troublesome; improved when formal agreements with individual authorities were made Major success factors • Substantial assembly, planning and land acquisition powers • Adoption of firm plans led to reduction of risk as perceived by private investors • Integrated and varied planning Major lessons • Channel more investment into public services • Put emphasis on development of local employment schemes • Work actively with stakeholders on local level Source: Cambridge Econometrics. Sustainable communities: an urban development corporation for Thurrock. 1997. ADL analysis.
Large Scale Redevelopment Projects – Thames Gateway (1995 ~ 2016) • London works together with its neighbouring regions on the largest redevelopment project in Europe – East London and Thames Gateway area Regeneration of East London and Thames Gateway area • Suffered from years of under-investment • 10x larger than the regeneration of London Docklands • The area contains 1/3 of London's derelict land • Covers broad-ranging issues including raising ambitions, provision of higher educationandbusiness innovation Main objectives of the programme • Create 255,000 new jobs and build 142,000 new houses in the area by 2016 • Engage private sector and all interested public parties in the strategic and implementation process Thames Gateway LondonDocklands
Large Scale Redevelopment Projects – Thames Gateway (1995 ~ 2016) • Recent review of progress made to date in developing the Thames Gateway area revealed a number of useful lessons with direct implications for other projects Summary Findings Major Implications • Progress to date (1995-2003) • A total of 18% of housing units completed • The programme has built some momentum • However, the long-term structural decline in the economy has not yet been reversed • Organisational framework • No one organisation with an overview role in the Gateway as a whole • The organisational structures strongly reflect those of the participating sub areas • Monitoring of progress is proving difficult due to lack of binding targets on local level A strong area-wide organisation is essential Progress is easier to achieve where there is a clear line of decision making Drawing together existing aspirations expediates progress Strategies should be rooted in what is already beginning to happen on sub-regional level Targets must be cascaded down to local level Source: Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions (DETR): Thames gateway review.
Agenda 1 Status and Competitiveness 2 Supporting London’s Growth Sectors 3 Large Scale Redevelopment Projects 4 Increasing the use of Public Transportation
Increasing the Use of Public Transport • Strategy and policy support to London’s transportation London Transport and Its Future Directions London public transport • Accounted for 34% of journeys in 2003 • 329km of Underground lines • Traffic moves at an average speed of about 16 km/h • Central London Congestion Charge introduced in 2003 Future directions • Transport for London created as an integrated body responsible for the capital's transport system • Extension of London’s public transport system over the next 10 years to serve new developments in east London and Thames Gateway • The major long-term investment programmes include reconstruction of London Underground and extensions of Docklands Light Railway (DLR)
Increasing the Use of Public Transport • London’s responses to growing road traffic and deteriorating accessibility Central London Congestion Charge Results so far Reduce number of cars entering inner parts of the city and Raise extra £130m each year to enhance public transport Makes use of a computerised network of CCTV cameras linked to a central database Heavy criticism by lobbying groups, most notably by retailers continues to date Number of cars entering the Central London dropped by 33% More than 350 busses added Raised only £75 and £100 million in the first year and second year, respectively Private cars entering the charging zone between 7:30 and 18:30 Congestion charge introduced Source: Traffic for London (TfL)
Increasing the Use of Public Transport • Central London Congestion Charge has contributed to reduction of private road traffic but there have been many controversies over its adoption Major Lessons Effective in reducing congestion and providing additionalstream of revenue Must be accompanied by other measures promoting useof public transport Thorough planning, testing and consultation processes are essential Caused upheaval among retailers and other pressure groups Requires significant political will and support from citizens
Increasing the Use of Public Transport • The UK Government has also established several other partnerships to foster long-term regeneration plans and improve quality of public services Public-Private Partnership for London Underground • Since 2003, the London underground has been operated as a Public Private Partnership (PPP) • Companies are granted long-term, not permanent, concessions to operate and modernise the tube infrastructure Benefits sought by the Government • The discipline and expertise of the private sector in managing large infrastructure projects • More effective use of resources and faster implementation of the modernisation investment programme Results so far • Pushed ahead by the UK Government despite strong resentment from the Mayor of London • Some safety issues • Difficulties in meeting performance targets
Increasing the Use of Public Transport • Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) have been fostered by the UK Government as means of providing public goods and services at better quality and cost Major Lessons Fair conditions and transparency are essential Long-term frameworks (10-20 years) Performance targets must be clearly defined and linked to strong incentives PPPs are proving to bea highly contentious issue requiring strong political will Requires thorough assessment and monitoringon continuous basis
Summary – London Metropolitan Area UK economic engine (34% of GDP) Support to growth industries (Creative Industries) Major regeneration programmes (London Docklands, Thames Gateway) Increasing the use of public transport (Congestion Charge) Private-Public Partnerships (London Underground) Prepared by Arthur D Little UK
