Abstract
The government of London has fragmented. Numerous quangos have taken over urban policy and planning roles. Recently further bodies have arisen in response to the government's urban expenditure competitions. This fragmentation has been accompanied by increasing centralisation, achieved through institutional reforms, central government appointments and financial controls. Government also encouraged a considerable role for the private sector. Whilst the boroughs are included in decision-making, primary objectives are set by the private sector and are concerned with London'sworld-city role. Through a unique 'partnership' with the public and private sectors, central government claims a mandate for its policies. The future of the governance of London is contested but central government is likely to continue playing a strong role.
