In the past few years London's economic and cultural renaissance has helped it lay claim to the title of the world's number one city. Now in the run up to the mayoral contest, we ask what the capital needs to stay ahead in the competitive race with other world cities.

With a panel featuring Ken Livingstone, the Labour candidate seeking a third term as mayor, the debate will discuss how London can prosper in a globalised era – and what it still needs to do to enhance its appeal for those who live and work here.

Debating this motion will be: Ken Livingstone Mayor of London, Diane Abbott Labour MP for Hackey North and Stoke Newington, Lionel Barber Editor of The Financial Times, Nick Ferrari LBC Radio Broadcaster. In the chair is Jonathan Freedland, columnist.
