With a multitude of universities and equally complex governance systems, how can we better embed evidence in policy making in London to tackle the capital’s most pressing problems?
CAPE sits down with colleague from the Greater London Authority, Michelle Reeves, and CAPE fellows Sarah Jasim and Ilias Krystalis to discuss what the policy system looks like in London, key policy challenges, and the new London Research and Policy Partnership (LRAPP).
