Description
This timely book is the first to take a close historical look at Ken Livingstone s London. It examines the development of London governance from the demise of the Greater London Council to the establishment of the Greater London Authority.The authors investigate the working of Mayor and Assembly, unravel the underlying politics of London and explore policy debates about transport, crime, and economic development. Finally they pose a question of key importance, not just to Londoners, but also show more to those interested in urban governancethroughout the world: to what extent can the creation of new institutions and instruments of government give a major city the sense of being a political community? show lessTags
