Throughout the City of London’s 2,000 year history its
environment has been shaped by constant social, political
and economic change. From the devastation of the fire,
to the Big Bang of the 1980s, upheaval is ingrained in its
fabric. The City of today is no less prone to disruption,
but it has the opportunity to be more global and
interconnected than ever before.
