This programme explores how London can maintain its international prominence and the soft power that underpins this, while strengthening relations with cities and regions across the UK.

London's success depends on its ability to develop, attract and retain talented people. Londoners of all ages need a world class education and skills system if they are to prosper in a fast-changing economy. This programme explores the ways in which London's labour market is evolving; how the city can best secure the talent that it needs; and how we can ensure that every Londoner can make the most of the opportunities the city offers.

All Londoners, regardless of age, wealth or occupation, depend on our city's public services and rely on its social capital. This programme looks at the challenges facing London's public services and explores ways of strengthening the voluntary ties, neighbourhood networks and public spaces that hold the city together.
