Summary
The Mayor of London’s proposed Economic Development
Strategy (EDS) sets out the Mayor’s ambitions for the economic
development of the capital; provides the GLA group and other
strategic organisations with a clear vision and policy directions
for achieving those ambitions; and clarifies roles and
responsibilities with other parties who make a major contribution
to developing London’s economy.
This paper is a consultation document for the London Assembly
and GLA group, and is the first step in revising the EDS. It sets
out the Mayor’s broad intentions for building London’s economic
future.
