The GLA has conducted an analysis of the metrics accompanying the DLUHC White Paper on Levelling Up. Levelling up will not be achieved by levelling down because London has deep economic links with the rest of the UK. There should be separate missions and metrics on improving productivity and tackling disadvantage. This would allow a clearer focus on poverty alleviation. Strategy and policy development, and supporting measures and analysis should reflect local needs. This would support the development of transport policy in London.
