Acknowledgements The success of the first Cities of the Future meeting was due to the support and assistance of many people. Firstly, appreciation for the City of London Corporation for their support of the meeting and the provision of such a wonderful venue and to all the project team who assisted in the planning and delivery of this programme. To the Lord Mayor Peter Estlin for his focus on the importance of Fusion Skills for the success of future citizens. Gratitude is expressed to all the attendees, speakers, artists and contributors to the ‘torchlight’ moments who made the commitment, both in terms of time and finances, to be part of this initiative and for their participation in the sessions, sharing of their wonderful ideas, and contribution to the text, creativity and ideas in this report. I heartily thank you all and look forward to the next two years as we amplify and implement the innovations which emerged. – Professor Anne Bamford 2. Introduction The City of London is widely referred to simply as the City and is also colloquially known as the Square Mile, as it is 1.12 sq. mi (716.80 acres; 2.90 sq. km) in area. The population of the City of London is small (just under 10,000) but every day over 500,000 people come into the Square Mile to work, and the City generates around a quarter of the United Kingdom’s (UK) tax revenue. The area is also home to 27 major cultural and creative institutions and over 10 million visit the City as tourists each year. It constituted most of London from its settlement by the Romans in the 1st century AD to the Middle Ages, but the agglomeration has since grown far beyond the City's borders. The City claims it was the original ‘co-working space’ as it has always had different disciplines rubbing shoulders. The buildings and their characters are a mix of old and new. It is a great place to wander and for a small area it is packed with surprises. The City of London Corporation (City Corporation) is the governing body of the Square Mile and provides local government and policing services in the City, as well as extending its reach beyond the boundaries of the Square Mile with responsibilities across public, private and charitable sectors. The City Corporation is dedicated to a vibrant and thriving City, supporting a diverse

  • Master's Speech, 19.12.16
    Page 1 of 4 Wardens, My Lord Mayor, Sheriffs, Alderman, Masters, Prime Wardens, Distinguished Guests. Fellow Turners, Ladies and Gentlemen. A very good evening to you all and welcome to this wonderful Skinners’ Hall. It is always a pleasure to dine under the atmospheric murals painted by Sir Frank Brangwyn and I sincerely thank Skinners Company for allowing us to be here. Thank you Master Skinner. This Hall, like Turners’ first Hall in Philpott Street, was burnt to the ground in the Great Fire of 1666. This catastrophic event has been widely commemorated through-out the City during the last six months with numerous exciting activities. These Commemorations culminated in the impressive burning of the wooden model of the City on a barge moored by Blackfriars Bridge … a most remarkable and memorable spectacle. However, there is still a fascinating exhibition at the Museum of London that should not be missed. In the excellent catalogue titled “Butcher, Baker, Candlestick Maker - Surviving the Great fire of London”, there is a whole chapter relating to the 17th Century ‘Turning’ Trade in the City and identifies fascinating new information on the business relationship between Samuel Pepys and a Mr Howells, a Turner in Tower Street, who specialised in turning Lignum Vitae. It’s on is on until April 2017. My Lord Mayor, we greatly appreciate you and the Sheriffs taking the time to join with us this evening, particularly as we know what a busy schedule you all have. You are the 689th person to have been elected to this high office and the dedication that you have shown to the City over the years is legendary.

  • Call for Entries from Architects, Designers and Artists to Improve Culture Mile’S Pedestrian Experience Along Its North-South Route
    Call for entries from architects, designers and artists to improve Culture Mile’s pedestrian experience along its North-South route The City of London Corporation is delighted to announce a call for entries to improve wayfinding, walkability and the pedestrian experience along Culture Mile’s ‘North-South route’ between the Millennium Bridge and Barbican. The City of London Corporation is seeking an innovative design concept and proposal for the ‘Culture Mile North-South Route’, between the Millennium Bridge, St Paul’s Cathedral, Aldersgate Street and St Martin’s-le-Grand, to be included as part of the Culture Mile 2019-2020 public programme. The City is looking for inspiring designs that will improve the wayfinding, walkability, appearance and vitality of this key thoroughfare, which links the Southbank to the Culture Mile area. This busy route incorporates entrances to several landmarks, such as St Paul’s Cathedral, the Museum of London and the Barbican estate. It includes the Barbican and St Paul’s underground stations, which collectively provide over 28 million passenger entrances/exits annually. We are inviting architects, designers and artists to submit a concept design that will elevate and enhance the look and feel of this area, providing visual cues, increased wayfinding and a deeper sense of connection between St Paul’s and Barbican underground stations. Following the shortlist of entries in July, the winning team will be revealed and commissioned to develop a fully costed, feasible design that can be installed in a section of the route, subject to planning permission and other relevant City authorisations. The design will remain in situ between Autumn 2019 and Spring 2020.
