The City of London remains committed to our Strategic Plan and the Strategic Areas of Focus within it. In 2025 we made big moves with Londoners, including making significant strides to improve safety of residents, expanding housing options, enhancing community connections, supporting vulnerable Londoners, and strengthening our local economy.
