London has its social problems - this is evident from the
increasingly unpleasant experience of daily life in the capital,
from homelessness and unemployment to frustrating transport
facilities and the general bad quality of the environment. However
it is not only citizens of London who are suffering but the
business community as well. London is having to face increasing
competition from other European cities. There is growing
appreciation and debate about these problems from companies,
political parties, local government and community organisations.
This book provides a solid analysis of what has gone wrong and
explores policy directions that could make the city a more humane
and livable place. Beginning with a discussion of the basic
elements of a home, a job and a means of travelling around, it
becomes clear that even in these essential aspects London is
failing. A feature of the crisis is an increasingly divided city
with conditions for the poorer citizens worsening all the time. The
author's consider the quality of the environment. They examine
issues such as the greening of the city and the need for
sustainability, and the privatization and dehumanization of public
spaces.
