The excellent outcome Transport for London (TfL) secured from the 2010 Spending Review, which enabled Crossrail and the Tube upgrade to proceed and protected London’s extensive bus network, reflects both London’s position as the engine of the UK economy and TfL’s reputation for effective delivery. In March 2011, following the Spending Review, TfL published a Business Plan to 2014/15 setting out its plans to modernise London’s transport system, supporting the Mayor’s vision for London as a world-class city. This Business Plan update, for consideration as part of the Mayor’s Budget for 2012/13 - 2014/15, reflects TfL’s latest financial forecasts, and highlights progress made towards achieving the milestones set out in the published Business Plan together with any new developments. TfL remains on target to deliver against all its key milestones. By reaffirming TfL’s ongoing commitment to operational delivery and investment in London’s infrastructure, this update provides vital stability and continuity for customers, business groups and other stakeholders.

  • 'Ungovernable'? Financialisation and the Governance Of
    Governing the ‘ungovernable’? Financialisation and the governance of transport infrastructure in the London ‘global city-region’ February 2018 Peter O’Briena* Andy Pikea and John Tomaneyb aCentre for Urban and Regional Development Studies (CURDS), Newcastle University, Newcastle upon Tyne, UK NE1 7RU. Email: peter.o’[email protected]; [email protected] bBartlett School of Planning, University College London, Bartlett School of Planning, University College London, 620 Central House, 14 Upper Woburn Place, London, UK WC1H 0NN. Email: [email protected] *Corresponding author 1 Abstract The governance of infrastructure funding and financing at the city-region scale is a critical aspect of the continued search for mechanisms to channel investment into the urban landscape. In the context of the global financial crisis, austerity and uneven growth, national, sub-national and local state actors are being compelled to adopt the increasingly speculative activities of urban entrepreneurialism to attract new capital, develop ‘innovative’ financial instruments and models, and establish new or reform existing institutional arrangements for urban infrastructure governance. Amidst concerns about the claimed ‘ungovernability’ of ‘global’ cities and city-regions, governing urban infrastructure funding and financing has become an acute issue. Infrastructure renewal and development are interpreted as integral to urban growth, especially to underpin the size and scale of large cities and their significant contributions within national economies. Yet, oovercoming fragmented local jurisdictions to improve the governance and economic, social and environmental development of major metropolitan areas remains a challenge. The complex, and sometimes conflicting and contested inter-relationships at stake raise important questions about the role of the state in wrestling with entrepreneurial and managerialist governance imperatives.
