London is growing
Ensuring population growth is productive growth
London is already one of the most densely inhabited and productive world cities and therefore vital to the UK economy –
its growth will be accommodated by further increasing the density of new development.

Opportunities across London
Opportunity AreaArea for Intensification
Transport investment
We are delivering one of the largest and most complex programmes of transport capital investment in the world
£4bn Roads Modernisation Programme
Europe’s largest infrastructure project, Crossrail
Tube and Rail Modernisation Programme
£900m Cycling Vision
Five major schemes: to enable growth, movement and rejuvenate public space
A total of 169 smaller schemes to improve our roads
12 key junction improvements addressing safety
Signal modernisation:dynamic control cuts delays by 12% at junctions
Modernisation and maintenance of 1,800 bridges and 12 tunnels,9,000,000m2 of carriageway, 1,000+ miles of footways and cycle lanes
Our Capital Programme – optimising
Example: Old Street £17m investment£26.5m user benefits£32.6m local property value increase(estimated benefits due to improved urban realm in addition to positive standard cost-benefit analysis)
Investing in the urban realm
Our plan will deliver a 5% bus network capacity increase
89% of London’s business leaders think there should be funding to keep bus fares affordable across London
Sustaining the bus network
Health impacts of poor air quality will become more challenging as London grows and becomes increasingly dense. We have already taken a number of steps in recent years to reduce transport-related emissions, including:LoLondon-wide Low Emission Zone
Ultra Low Emission ZoneCongestion ChargeTaxi age limits Cleaner buses
Ultra Low Emission Vehicle InfrastructureSustainable TransportMayor’s Air Quality Fund
Air quality – action for health
• Today 25% of our Tube stations are step-free from street to platform
• By 2024 56% of all our stations will be step-free
• All our buses and the DLR are accessible• Our investment includes
accessibility features as standard in new rolling stock, buses, station upgrades, roads schemes and urban realm improvements that will support more independent travel by disabled people
Accessibility – access to opportunities
• New walk-through, higher-capacity trains on the District line
• 36 trains per hour on the Victoria, Jubilee &
• Northern lines
• Major station transformations at Tottenham Court Road , Bond Street, Victoria, Bank, Holborn & Camden
• The Northern line Extension
• Signalling modernisation for faster, more frequent trains on the District, Circle, Metropolitan &Hammersmith & City lines
Desk fans used to cool Earl's Court signalling equipment, 2015
Nearly all (99%) London business leaders think the Tube modernisations should be a priority
Our Capital Programme – Tube modernisation
Once completed it will deliver:
• 60 per cent increase in capacity on the line
• Around 100 new trains
• At least 33 trains per hour
Our Capital Programme – Piccadilly line upgrade
Improvements are being delivered now but new investment and trains will come post 2025

Crossrail 2 – what role does it play• A brand new railway line, serving
London and the wider South East.• Over 70km of tunnel would connect
the existing National Rail networks in Surrey and Hertfordshire, through central London. 51 stations served directly by Crossrail 2 services
• High frequency: trains up to every 120 seconds (30 trains per hour) in central core
• Provides additional rail capacity for 270,000 people to travel into central London during the peak period
• Construction could start in 2020, with the scheme open around 2030
• Joint TfL/Network Rail project

Safeguarded Option
It will help address the UK’s productivity
• The UK produces significantly less per hour worked than our main economic rivals. If we do not address this, national economic growth could stall and improvements to living standards could be held back
• Cities offer a solution to this productivity challenge because they cluster activity together, improving efficiency
• To do this and grow the economy, cities need access to a large workforce
It will help address the transport challenge• Despite the major investment
programme underway, growth is putting pressure on the transport network and could stall long-term economic growth
• Demand for National Rail services into Waterloo is set to increase by 40 per cent between today and 2043, and by a similar level across the Tube network
• Severe crowding on the London and South East rail network could double by 2041
• Problem particularly severe in the morning peak
It will help address the housing challenge• London Plan seeks to meet a need of 49,000 new homes / year but up to 63,000 pa
necessary to address backlog. • GLA SHLAA identifies sufficient land up to 2025 but shortfall thereafter (land for
additional 500,000 homes needs to be identified)• ONS projections identify need for ~57,000 additional houses in non-London CR2
Borough’s up to 2037.• ONS projections identify need for ~1.5m new houses to be delivered in London and
CR2 counties up to 2037 • Cumulative impact will require fundamental review of how cross boundary growth is
planned for – supported by cross-border infrastructure schemes Cumulative London Plan housing targets versus identified capacity
It will help address the housing challenge• Too few homes are being built across the South East and future growth is threatened by a
housing shortage
• Part of the solution to building more homes is improving transport links to under-developed areas to make sites more attractive to developers
Housing development in Woolwich, unlocked by Crossrail
Crossrail 2 seeks to address these challenges and secure long-term economic growth
REGION-WIDE• Supporting new jobs• Improving journeys to, from& across the transport network• Maintain and enhance environmental quality• Accommodate housing growth
THE NORTH EAST• Maximising housing growth
and regeneration in opportunity areas like Upper Lea Valley and beyond
CENTRAL LONDON• Intensify and grow London’s Central
Activities Zone (CAZ) by increasing employment density
• Reduce levels of congestion and crowding on travel services
• Ensure adequate connectivity between HS2 and surrounding region
THE SOUTH WEST• Reduce levels of congestion
on key services and at key stations, particularly on South West Mainline
Enables the development of upto 200,000 new homes
Supports up to 200,000 new jobsin London and the wider South
East
Supports 60,000+ construction sector and supply chain jobs across the UK
Crossrail 2 - Economic benefits
• Analysis by KPMG shows that it could add up to £102bn to the UK’s GVA, providing new tax revenues that would payback the Government’s investment
• Could generate housing land value uplift (HVU) of £15bn
Economic benefits
Crossrail 2’s supply chain would stretch around the UK
Support 60,000 jobs around the country
SMEs could benefit from more than £5bn spend
Would support hundreds of apprenticeships
The UK has a productivity gap. Increased productivity occurs with increased employment densities

Productivity vs Employment Density.
UK Cities, 2008-2012
The UK’s Productivity compared to G7 countries (GDP per hour worked)
Applying the principles of ‘TIEP’ shows that the Regional Scheme could deliver up to £102bn of net national GVA benefits.- Land Use Transport Interaction (LUTI) modelling supports this conclusion
Summary net national present value GVA scenarios (£bn, 2011 prices, discounted to 2015)
Source: National GVA Impacts, KPMG, 2015
• Transform travel across London and the wider South East, providing direct train services to destinations across the region
• Provides new rail capacity for 270,000 people to access central London during peak periods, helping relieve crowding and congestion on the transport network
Crossrail 2 – Transport benefits
• Significantly improve step-free access across the rail network
• Significant journey time benefits for a wide range of journeys
Transport benefits
Crossrail 2 would transform travel across London and the wider South East, providing direct train services to destinations across the region. This would benefit places from Southampton to the Wash
The Crossrail 2 Growth Commission
Crossrail 2 is not just about building a railway.
The work of the Growth Commission is to:• Identify the ambitions of local authorities
and key stakeholders along the route• Ensure that these ambitions are aligned
with the design of the railway (eg. station entrances and exits facing the right way !)
• Understand local infrastructure needs which could help unlock additional Crossrail 2 related development
• Identify potential partnership and delivery arrangements
• Advise on implications of growth ambitions on London Plan revisions
• Report in Spring 2016
Of the Crossrail 2 regional scheme’s £28.7bn cost, a contribution of at least half from local sources remains feasible
