The London Region

Metropolitan London, in its broadest sense, covers an area with a radius of from thirty to sixty miles from the center of the city, extending to the North Sea and the English Channel. Embracing one-eight of the area of England and one-fourth of the population of Great Britain, Metro London consists of ten governmental authorities overlapping like concentric circles on a target. Following World War I, a prominent geographer offered a scheme for reorganizing the Province fo London. In addition, students of government warned that the overlapping of administrative authorities in London would weaken its functional and political unity, both in ordinary times and in crises. After the present war, however, a new London may be built, and steps have already been taken which may integrate these functions into the new society and the neotechnic age
