The biggest problem in London is the fragmentation. 32 boroughs + the City + TFL. It's planning chaos.

My borough of Waltham Forest, at least the parts inside the north circular, has segregated cycle lanes pretty much everywhere. Nextdoor in Haringey, not so much.

It's chaos for just about everything else too, especially when it come to IT. Every council outsources the exact same functions to different companies and almost none of them do it well. It's a collosal waste of resources.

Is it even tenable to attempt this for the entirety of Greater London? Should the focus be on just improving Central London I wonder?
