The Livcom Awards 2007
The City of Westminster is in the heart of London -
stretching from Pimlico in the south to Queen’s Park in the
northwest, home to the monarchy, government and
world-renowned shopping and entertainment districts in the
West End as well as a residential population approaching a
quarter of a million. With the fastest growing population
in the UK - over 28 million visits from tourists per year
and a thriving entrepreneurial talent of 47,000 businesses –
we, like you, face huge challenges; but amidst the
complexity of this buzzing metropolis we have one unifying
vision – One City. One City is our 5-year Programme to
deliver strong communities supported by excellent council
services. One of its four themes, Renewal, is the driving
force behind the enhancement of the urban environment in
Westminster.
One City Renewal Programmes have been a catalyst for an
array of improvements in the City, with many areas seeing
new beginnings as a result of regeneration, improved
infrastructure, streetscape projects and enhancements to
open spaces. The cornerstone of our approach is partnership
working and engagement with the community - with the council
delivering projects that make London a better place to live
and work for all. We are proud to host the Awards in 2007
at a time when the majority of the world’s population now
live in urban areas and city life is the norm. We believe
there is a huge desire to share ideas and implement
solutions between different cities and across continents,
which is the principle at the core of LivCom - giving city
managers unique opportunities to work together. Welcome to
