KQ in The Evening Standard: A six-point plan to make London the world’s greatest city

The Knowledge Quarter features in a jointly written article by George Osborne and Boris Johnson published at the end of February in the Evening Standard. Together they outline a Long Term Economic Plan for London – a six-point strategy for London’s prosperity.

Jointly they state “We’ve already invested in making London a world science centre. We’re building the Francis Crick Institute for biomedical research, and the “knowledge quarter” that is growing around it at St Pancras will soon see Google move in. We are creating at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park a world-class centre of learning and culture, Olympicopolis, with UCL, the V&A museum and Sadler’s Wells all opening new facilities.”

Their plan is about securing London’s place as the greatest city on Earth, building on activities over the past five years, to create more jobs and more housing, to support investment in transport, science and culture, and give greater power over London’s future to Londoners.
