The City of London is home to a world-renowned cluster of finance and professional service firms. How is this specialised district responding to a period of rapid change, with the rise of technology, the impending departure of the UK from the European Union, and changing generational expectations? Drawing on extensive qualitative research with a range of businesses, Dr Ed Jones of the City of London Corporation’s research team will provide an introduction to this unique place and discuss some of the key factors driving its ongoing evolution.
