The Case for London aims to secure more government funding for London. It demonstrates that greater investment in the capital is vital, because:
- London is a powerful driver of the UK economy and needs investment to reinforce and develop this role for the future
- London contributes £9-£15 billion to central government - significantly more than it receives in spending
- the capital has the highest poverty rate in England, and some of the worst housing, public health and homelessness in the UK
- London is set to grow by 800,000 people in the next 10 years, and this must be managed in a sustainable way.
The Case for London was published in March 2004.
