Founded in 1990 by Marc Lee, former Managing Director of FT Business Enterprises who established and ran the Financial Times global conference business, Cityforum has for many years been acknowledged as a major contributor to public policy debate. Cityforum comprises a small, trusted, fully independent group of experienced individuals, respected for their intellectual honesty, knowledge and extensive contacts across every level of the private, public and not-for-profit sectors, at home and abroad. We focus particularly but not exclusively on policing, security, defence, the economy, health, resilience and regulation. The Cityforum podcast compliments our programme of round table discussions and report publishing, bringing additional discussions to our community and to a wider audience.
