Abstract

This article reviews the changes in London's industrial space since the 17th century and its interaction with space development strategy, identifies the driving forces that promote the continuous transformation and upgrading of the London city, and interprets London's industrial space-land use interaction experience of growing into a global city. The research finds that: ① The driving force for London's urban transformation stems in the combined effect of market and policy intervention, the result of the gradual adjustment of the urban land use structure and the continuous upgrading of the industrial structure. ② Before 1940, the market driving force was strong, and London spontaneously formed a spatial layout of gradually decreasing population density and industrial level from the city center to the periphery; after 1940, the role of policy became prominent. ③ Since 1940, London's urban industrial space has undergone three significant changes with urban policies: In 1940, London implemented a decentralization strategy, and the green belt restricted land development in the inner city, which caused the migration of population industries and the hollowing of the city; Since the 1980s, it has shifted to the development strategy of compact city, emphasizing the efficient use of inner city land, and the revival of inner city economic space; when in the 21st century, sustainable development strategy has become the main theme, strengthening the functions of the central business district, ensuring the advantages of financial services, and driving the sustained growth of London's economy. The improvement in the quality of production and life has consolidated London's status as a global financial center.
