The City of London Corporation is
constantly looking for ways in which to improve its utilities and
telecommunications infrastructure provision, which is the essential
backbone of the Square Mile, supporting the needs of City
businesses, workers and residents.
The Square Mile is serviced with vast networks providing
electricity, water and gas, all of which are in the process of
being upgraded. The City is also served by over 13 separate
telecommunication operators providing essential communications and
IT networks. The
City Property Advisory team (CPAT) and Highways Management team
regularly meet with these infrastructure service providers and are
working closely with them on a number of projects to improve the
provision of their services throughout the City. CPAT also work to
a strategic 'Action Plan' to further plan and develop the City's
infrastructure networks.

The City Corporation has prepared a Utility Connections Guide
(available to download below) in conjunction with major
utility providers in the City to assist developers, consultants and
construction industry professionals in planning utility
investigations, diversions and new connections to City development
sites.
