17. What if?
• London became Europe’s first 20
million population city
• Selective provincial cities had
specific national economic roles
• Some cities shrink - but beautifully
32. WHAT IF?
• Instead of 433 local authorities in the UK
there were X (a lesser number)?
• Instead of 32 London Boroughs there were
5 – like New York?
… could this be the ultimate consequence of
austerity and the need to be (nationally)
more strategic and effective?
