The London
Development Agency prepares the Mayor’s business plan
for London by mobilising the support and resources of hundreds
of partner organisations.
We help
to build a thriving economy for London’s people, businesses
and communities. We are dedicated to improving sustainability,
health and equality of opportunity for all Londoners.
By investing
more than £300 million a year, we support the growth
of new and existing businesses, the creation of new jobs,
and the development of new communities.
We work
to promote and grow London’s strengths as the world’s
leading financial centre, its most vibrant cultural centre,
an outstanding center for higher education and research and
the busiest global transport hub.
Our long-term
strategies tackle structural failures in London’s economy,
where widespread prosperity exists alongside the highest concentration
of unemployment and child poverty in the UK.
We focus
our investment on areas of greatest need and greatest potential,
so that all Londoners can gain from, and contribute to, London’s
international competitive success.
Some landmark
projects that have received our support include the new Wembley
Stadium, the award-winning Laban dance centre and the renewal
of London’s renowned Borough Market.
In the
next few years, we will be supporting London’s bid to
host the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, and will drive
forward plans to develop the Thames Gateway, one of Europe’s
largest sites for regeneration.
