What Is The City of London Corporation?
The first 1,000 people to sign up to Skillshare will get their first 2 months for free: https://skl.sh/infographics35
As historian Niall Ferguson writes in his 2011 book, “Civilization: The West and the Rest”, the city of London was an outback in the 15th century compared to some of China’s great cities. Then with international trading led by The British East India Company money flooded in, as did people of different nationalities. The population is estimated to have been 50,000 in 1530 and then in 1605 it was around 225,000 people. Throughout the industrial revolution London became the center of the world and from around 1825 to 1925 it had the largest population of any city on Earth. The British Empire faded, but London has always been a powerhouse culturally, but also economically. Acco...

LONDON - CITY IN MOTION
At the beginning of the year I spent a week exploring the amazing city of London. I was captivated by the intricacy and beauty and wanted to try and replicate the hustle and bustle, the various moving parts of what makes London so unique and great.
This is LONDON - CITY IN MOTION

[Notes:ANCHOR VOICE]
(Tilt up shot to London hi-rise skyline)
The City of London, one of the world's foremost financial districts, is now Europe's biggest wi-fi "hotzone."
(Various of black wi-fi devices on lampposts)
Devices like these are on 127 lampposts and signposts all over the district, enabling wireless Internet access in every public area.
Wireless provider The Cloud worked with the city to install the network over the past year.
(SOT -- Niall Murphy, Co-Founder, The Cloud)
"It's contiguously covered, which is unprecedented. It means a continuous signal right across the whole city."
(Man on cell phone; city workers in park)
This isn't just a hotspot -- it's a network of hotspots, forming one big wi-fi zone.
(STANDUP -- Melissa Gray, London -- FYI, I sit on park bench and open up laptop as I speak)
"This means wherever people are -- in a park like this, or on the street -- they can open up their laptops and log onto the Internet, just like that. It covers the entire square mile of the City of London, the city's financial district, and even extends partway into some buildings."
(Closeup of man using wireless PDA; shot of busy sidewalk packed with office workers)
It's not free -- it costs about 24 dollars for unlimited monthly service, or about 10 dollars for the odd hour here or there. But city planners who came up with the idea say the city is growing and becoming more international, and people now need information on the move.
(SOT -- Peter Bennett, Deputy City Surveyor)
"People are 'hotdesking.' They're moving around. They're wanting communcation both as they walk or in taxis."
(Closeup of City of London sign)
So London's financial district is now wireless.

Scenes like this, with the iconic red phone booth, may not be around for much longer.

The first 1,000 people to sign up to Skillshare will get their first 2 months for free: https://skl.sh/infographics35
As historian Niall Ferguson writes in his 2011 book, “Civilization: The West and the Rest”, the city of London was an outback in the 15th century compared to some of China’s great cities. Then with international trading led by The British East India Company money flooded in, as did people of different nationalities. The population is estimated to have been 50,000 in 1530 and then in 1605 it was around 225,000 people. Throughout the industrial revolution London became the center of the world and from around 1825 to 1925 it had the largest population of any city on Earth. The British Empire faded, but London has always been a powerhouse culturally, but also economically. According to the Global Financial Centers Index, London is still the largest financial center in the world- but what is this great city truly about? Welcome to this episode of the Infographics Show, What is the city of London corporation?
It may come as a surprise to some of you that London is not just a city but also a corporation. Those that don’t know are probably thinking right now what is this corporation? Does it function like the Microsoft Corporation? Does it hire and fire and post annual profits? Does it have a main headquarters and a CEO? Let’s find out.
So, the Corporation of London or in legal terms the Mayor and Commonalty and Citizens of the City of London, is the governing body of London’s financial district which is sometimes referred to as the “Square Mile.” Within that mile around 8,000 live, although around 400,000 people commute into that area for work every day, according to the corporation’s own website. London is divided into 33 areas, or boroughs, and this area is one of them. On its website the corporation is perhaps extremely vague when it answers the question concerning what it is responsible for. The answer it gives is, “Providing services for residents (and City businesses) in the Square Mile, but not those of other boroughs.” And yep, you can apply for a job in this corporation, just like any other. It has bosses in a sort of way and lots of staff. But let’s rewind a little.

The owner did not want to talk about working it out and attacked me on all my social medias filing a complaint with YouTube giving me a copyright strike and taking the video down. It's an unfortunate situation, but if you've already watched it, please show it some love again and click the like button.
