Mippim 2011

Mipim has shrunk to half its pre-recession size; however, those delegates that did attend this week鈥檚 event were singing the praises of London. The capital鈥檚 mayor Boris Johnson was, predictably, among the most faithful supporters, but the news that Skanska, Arup and GE expect to earn 拢200m as a result of green retrofit works at Royal Docks, is further proof of London鈥檚 rise.
