London is the canary in the coalmine. As Brexit approaches,
London faces a defining moment in its history and a unique
challenge. It is a character in the broader drama of our changing
world. What happens to London is going to tell us a great deal
about the fate of the interconnected, globalized world as we know
it today.
One of the world’s largest and most culturally diverse cities,
London’s distinctive demographic and economic differences set it
apart within the UK. It is arguably more connected to New York,
Moscow, Delhi or Paris than Manchester or Birmingham.
In fact, London is a world within a city. It is the bustling city-state
that primes the pump of the global financial system, a stage for
global culture and sport, a hub for new technology, the noisy
bullhorn of a globally powerful media.
