London

< Places, projects and networks

London is the capital city of England and the United Kingdom. It is also the most populous city in the European Union.

London has an estimated population as of 1 January 2005 of 7.5 million and a metropolitan area population of between 12 and 14 million. London's population includes an extremely diverse range of peoples, cultures, and religions, making it one of the most cosmopolitan, vibrant and energetic cities in the world, with over 300 languages spoken there.

Today, "London" usually refers to the region of London which covers thirty-two London Boroughs and the City of London.

The region of London shares borders with South East England and the East of England. Because of high degrees of interdependence it is arguable that neither London nor its neighbouring regions can approach sustainability in isolation.

Places
Share information about places - where you live, work or visit, from local communities to Boroughs and the whole region. (For other regions, countries, continents and the planet itself please see our main Places, projects and networks page.)

What information might be relevant to quality of life or wellbeing in each area or community? What challenges or opportunities face the area or community? Impacts of Climate change? Challenges to Environmental, social or economic wellbeing? Transport and Planning challenges? Local sustainability challenges?

A good way to start an article is to see if there's an article about the place in Wikipedia, which you can adapt to include material which might be relevant to sustainability. Alternatively build up a list of relevant links.

Projects and networks
Share information about any local sustainability projects or networks (both local and non-local) you may be involved with or know about.

If you're unsure what information to include, just imagine you're wanting to learn about other projects. What information would you find useful? A good example project page is Kingston Green Fair
