Yet London is also a divided city, whose expansion has generated many planning challenges. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book explores the tensions, complexities and difficulties in mobilizing policy agendas in London, but it also argues that public policy still matters and makes a significant difference to outcomes. The authors show how the market-led development of London has meant that the state supports more private-sector-led governance and this has given rise to widespread privatization of the city's decision-making processes and policy implementation. As a key command and control centre in the global economy, London's privatized model has become one for other megacities to emulate.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMike Raco\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Urban Governance and Development at the Bartlett School of Planning, University College London.
