Opinions of Londoners are at the heart of policy making at the Greater London Authority (GLA). City Hall conducts regular research with Londoners to provide evidence and insight into public opinion and behaviours, in order to support effective and impactful policy making and the development of strategies and programmes of work. These pages detail the latest research conducted by the GLA on public attitudes and behaviours in relation to the cost of living in 2022. All figures, unless otherwise stated, are from YouGov Plc on behalf of the GLA. The surveys were carried out online. The figures have been weighted and are representative of all London adults (aged 18+).

Information on projects funded by the Mayor of London's Young Londoners Fund. This spreadsheet details the value of grants, types of activities delivered, the age range of people to be supported and the Boroughs in which the projects are delivered. The Mayor's Young Londoners Fund will help children and young people to fulfil their potential, particularly those at risk of getting caught up in crime. It will support a range of education, sport, cultural and other activities for children and young people.

The GLA undertakes regular polling of Londoners' views. This page provides the supporting evidence from the GLA polls used in responding to questions to the Mayor.

Throughout 2012/13 the GLA carried out a programme of research to explore the impact that the London 2012 Games and the work of the GLA has had on the opinions, behaviour and attitudes of Londoners and visitors to London.

The draft London Environment Strategy set out the Mayor’s vision of London’s environment to 2050. The draft strategy was published on the London.gov.uk website on 11 August 2017 for a 14-week public consultation. It set out the Mayor’s ambition to make London the greenest global city. The Report to the Mayor provides a high-level summary and analysis of the issues raised during the consultation of the draft strategy, from both technical stakeholders and members of the public. This allowed the Mayor to have proper regard to the consultation responses when deciding whether to approve the final version of the strategy. The public responded to the consultation via Talk London online discussion threads and surveys; and via focus groups, interviews, and representative polling. The Talk London datasets and emailed responses were analysed by policy area, and compared against insights from the representative polling and offline qualitative research (focus groups and interviews). This allowed the team to identify any similarities or differences between the views of the general population and the views of the Talk London community. All datasets on a policy area were brought together in a single thematic summary report, which aimed to show where the balance of opinion lay, as well as highlight areas of disagreement or debate. These reports are provided in Appendix 6 of the Report to the Mayor and are also set out below, alongside the more detailed qualitative and quantitative research findings and data tables.

The London Housing Strategy sets out the Mayor's plans to tackle the capital's housing crisis and his vision to provide all Londoners with a good quality home they can afford. The draft strategy was published for a 12-week consultation between 6 September and 7 December 2017. Responses were received from over 2,000 members of the public via surveys, online discussion threads, and written correspondence. Over 200 organisations also submitted written responses to the draft strategy. The consultation response report, available at www.london.gov.uk/housing-strategy, provides an accurate summary of responses to the consultation. Quantitative information used to develop this report are set out below.

The GLA Demography Team offers a bespoke population projection service to London local authorities. Boroughs can request population projections based on their own choice of assumptions about future housing delivery. These assumptions are submitted to the team via a standard template. The resulting projections are referred to as the Borough Preferred Option (or BPO) and are commonly used to help support local planning and service delivery. The GLA does not make the BPO projections and submitted housing trajectories publicly available or share them with anyone other than the commissioning borough. Boroughs wishing to publish BPO projections themselves are free to do so. This service is offered as an optional, free of charge service to London authorities, and is intended to provide users with an alternative to the standard projections that the GLA publishes on the London Datastore. Access to outputs The BPO projections are shared with users via private pages on the London Datastore. These pages include all outputs produced under the service since 2019. To access outputs, users must have a current Datastore account linked to their local government email address and contact the Demography Team to request permissions be granted for the individual pages relating to their local authority. Notes on completing the development data template What periods do the year labels in the template refer to? The year labels in the template nominally refer to periods ending in the middle of that year (i.e. `2025` refers to the 12 month period ending June 30th 2025). However, development data is often readily available only for financial years and it is common to submit data on this basis, with financial year 2024/25 aligning with `2025` in the template. Development trajectory The cells in the template represent annual net changes in the number of dwellings. The current template covers the period 2012-2041 and are pre-populated with estimated annual net dwelling changes for the period 2012-2019, based on modelling of data from the London Development Database. For the 2022-based and subsequent projections, dwelling stock estimates are anchored to the results of the 2021 Census and it is not essential to include data for dwelling stock changes that occured prior to this point (i.e. up to and including '2021'). Past development data from 2022 up to the base year of the projections, affects the projected population in all future years as dwelling stock in the base year is used in the estimation of relationships between housing and population in the model. We are not yet able to pre-populate templates with estimated dwelling changes for years after 2019. In future rounds of projections we intend to incorporate data from the Planning Data Hub. Blank cells are treated as missing rather than no change, and data based on the 2017 Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA) will be substituted in its place. To indicate no net change in dwellings in a ward in a particular year, users must explicitly enter a zero in the relevant cell. Self-contained and Non-self-contained development Self-contained development should be used for standard residential development (e.g. new build/conversion). Non-self-contained development should be used for development such as student accommodation. This should be added to the template as the equivalent of self-contained units (i.e. a ratio of non-self-contained to self-contained should be applied). The London Plan ratios are: · 2.5:1 for student housing · 1:1 for housing for older people (C2) · 1.8:1 for all other non-self-contained housing Requesting projections based on multiple different housing scenarios While we are willing to try and accommodate requests for multiple sets of projections, capacity in the team is limited and there is no guarantee that we will be able to do so in a timely manner. Please do not Add rows or columns to the template Change ward names or codes Include formulas or new formatting Add notes

Complementing Transport for London’s own consultation on changes to regulations for Private Hire Vehicles, over 850 Talk London members participated in a survey to understand their views of the proposed changes. Fieldwork took place between October and November 2015. Results were shared with TfL’s Taxi & Private Hire Team, TfL’s Customer Research & Insight Team, and the Mayor’s Transport team, in advance of decisions on which proposals to take forward for approval by TfL’s Board. More information on the proposals taken forward can be found here.

The GLA Civil Society and Sport Unit Youth Team have commissioned London Metropolitan University CARES team to undertake research into the challenges that young Londoners face, to help shape the GLA’s holistic approach to empowering the voice of young Londoners. The project involves reviewing evidence gathered by the GLA to map out the ecosystem and interactions that underpin youth social action in London, as well as participatory research with active participation from members of London’s youth community.
