46. Why is all this important? London’s global success; economic, cultural and social, is partly due to being a global city which reflects the world and is open to the world. Londoners speak the world’s languages, understand the world’s cultures and are facing the world’s issues: inequalities, tensions and conflicts. We need to know more about our past and where we’ve come from. We need to know about our various and multiple identities.
