Reimagine London

London is facing its most challenging time in recent history. The pandemic has disrupted everyone’s lives in unimaginable ways. It has had a huge economic, health and social impact on the city hitting some communities harder than others. 

A better future is possible. It will take all of us working together: City Hall, local councils, the NHS, businesses, universities, charities, trade unions, community and faith groups and all Londoners. These groups have come together to build London’s plans for recovery from the pandemic and together have set out nine bold missions to restore confidence in our city and make London greener, fairer and safer than ever before. 

The 9 missions are: High Streets for All, A Green New Deal, Building Strong Communities, Mental Health and Wellbeing, Good Work for Londoners, Digital Access for All, A New Deal for Young People, Healthy Food, Healthy Weight, and A Robust Safety Net. Find out more about all of the missions here.
