The city of London is the capital of the United Kingdom. With over 12 million people living in the wider metropolitan area of the city, London is the largest city in Europe, and it currently competes with New York as the world's centre for finance. Despite a slump in construction throughout the UK, central London seems to be bucking the trend. A number of commercial tower developments are planned over the next decade, and the opening of the Shard may be a sign of things to come for struggling construction staff. The city is also home to a number of urban regeneration programmes that involve the development of brown-field sites into affordable accommodation. The Construction Industry Council (CIC) is the professional body for construction workers, employment opportunities and industry standards. London is not only a major centre for large construction companies, it also has a very high concentration of some of the world's leading architects. Major employers in the city include Wimpey and Laing.
Around 11% of London's population work in construction and manufacturing and recruitment agencies in the city are reporting a bright picture for future employment prospects. Anyone visiting the city of London will be impressed by the amount of construction work taking place. The skyline is dominated by imposing towers and the cranes responsible for constructing larger, more impressive commercial and residential developments. With much of the developed world facing tough economic circumstances, London is leading the way in construction and infrastructure projects.
