I think that in London, although collaborative acts can be difficult to spot, the results of collaboration can be seen everywhere ... each building, each street plan (whether deliberately planned or the result of organic communal growth), each business ... represents the results of a coming together of resources and expertise. I think it is in the nature of modern work that it is difficult in most cases to see from the outside what it is that people do. For example, the only footage we got in london of people "in the act" of collaboration were construction workers.
