"London is a great world city. It is the powerhouse of the British economy and the gateway to the UK for international investment and tourism. As the financial centre of Europe in the globalised economy, London competes with the very best in the world." - Mayor of London, Summary to London’s Transport The Mayor of London has set ambitious targets to increase cycling by 80% by 2011 and walking by 10% by 2015, as well as aiming to reduce traffic congestion and improve journey time reliability. With the welcome news of London’s successful bid for the Olympics in 2012 also comes the additional pressure that this will put on the transport system. If these targets are to be achieved, and the Capital is going to put on a Games worthy of our status, London as a City and London boroughs have to ensure that they are at the forefront of transport policy and practice. The utilisation of case studies from across the EU and beyond, have already featured in some London strategies, and there are countless examples of projects in other transport areas that would prove invaluable to planners and practitioners alike. The aim of the London European Partnership for Transport is to improve the level of communication, cooperation and investment that exists between London, London boroughs and the European Union. By collecting, assimilating and disseminating the wide range of information and opportunities that exist within the European transport arena, LEPT provides the London boroughs with the level of support necessary to ensure that London remains a 'great world city'. |
