سند هوشمند سازی لندن SMART LONDON PLAN

From 2011 to 2021 London’s population will grow by a million - the fastest rate of acceleration ever. We are going to hit nine million before New York, and approach ten million by 2030. With these demographic projections, we will have at least another 641,000 jobs, another 800,000 homes, and more than 600,000 extra passengers will need to travel by public transport at peak times by 2031. There will be the challenge of dealing with increasing waste and meeting extra pressure on healthcare and energy supplies.  I stand firmly behind London’s future growth. London is a formidable generator of new enterprise, jobs and inward investment, but the fact is we need to think about how this great capital city can support it.  We need to harness London’s technical prowess to help the capital work even better as a city, support its growth and help our infrastructure and services to be more responsive to Londoners and business needs. We need London’s top of the class researchers and talented entrepreneurs to innovate with new approaches to the capital’s growth challenges. And as this plan shows, they already are, and, in many ways City Hall itself is leading the way.
