London Chamber of Commerce Submission: Expectations for London’s Economic Development Strategy

The London Chamber of Commerce speaks as the collective voice of London’s business community. As the City prepares its new Economic Development Strategy, the Chamber expects this plan to move beyond broad aspiration and deliver a concrete, measurable roadmap for prosperity.

The London Chamber of Commerce submits this document as the final statement in the City of London’s consultation process for the new Economic Development Strategy. It represents the collective voice of London’s business community and outlines our expectations for what Deloitte should deliver. We expect a data-driven, actionable, and measurable plan centered on downtown revitalization, the cultural and creative economy, and structural reform within City governance. London’s prosperity will depend on how effectively it integrates culture, innovation, and inclusive growth into a single, coordinated economic vision.

This submission details eleven key areas that must be addressed if London is to position itself as Canada’s next great creative and economic hub. The exemplars provided are drawn from literally hundreds of equally good examples that could have been suggested.

The Chamber reaffirms its commitment to partnership with the City, Deloitte, and the community to ensure that this strategy translates into real outcomes: prosperity, creativity, and inclusivity for all Londoners.
