What should feel different for Londoners?

See how the London Growth Plan will improve the lives of Londoners.

The economy shapes our experiences of the city every day. Over the 10 years of the London Growth Plan, working Londoners should experience these positive changes. They all rely on a growing economy which can fund investment and public services.

10 ways the plan aims to improve Londoners’ lives

  1. Wages rise faster than prices over time, so Londoners can afford a better lifestyle. We can do this by raising productivity.
  2. Londoners find it easier to get affordable housing. We can do this by building more homes, especially affordable homes.
  3. Londoners find it easier to build exciting careers in well-paid industries. We can do this by creating jobs in growth sectors and helping Londoners to get the skills and experience they need to get those jobs.
  4. Londoners who run a business find it easier to get loans and support. We can do this by improving business support, access to finance and affordable workspace.
  5. Londoners who face challenges getting and keeping a good job get better support. We can do this by better joining up our employment services with health, financial resilience services, skills and training.
  6. Londoners find it easier and more affordable to get around. We can do this by extending and upgrading the public transport network.
  7. Londoners benefit from better digital connectivity at home, for work and on the move. We can do this by encouraging investment in fibre and mobile infrastructure.
  8. Town centres feel safer and livelier, with fewer empty shops and more useful local services. We can do this by promoting growth and investment to improve high streets and town centres.
  9. New development creates good job opportunities closer to home for more Londoners. We can do this by encouraging growth hotspots outside the city centre that are easy to get to on public transport.
  10. There are more exciting places to visit and things to do. We can do this by developing our visitor destinations and helping Londoners to navigate what is available and relevant.
