 London
London, city, capital of the United Kingdom. It is among
the oldest of the world’s great cities—its history
spanning nearly two millennia—and one of the most 
cosmopolitan. By far Britain’s largest metropolis, it is
also the country’s economic, transportation, and
cultural centre.

Economy:For centuries, shipping was at the heart of the economy of London. 

In addition to its importance in administration and banking, London once was
a substantial manufacturing centre. In the 18th and 19th centuries its
industries were quite comparable to those of other European capitals and
court cities, producing such luxury items as silks, fine furniture, gilded work,
watches, musical instruments, millinery, and women’s clothing. 
 WASHINGTON D.C
Washington, D.C., D.C. in full District of Columbia, city
and capital of the United States of America. It is
coextensive with the District of Columbia 

ECONOMY: Agriculture, forestry, and fisheries have been major

contributors to the state’s economy since early settlement by
Europeans. The rapid increase in manufacturing and services that
began in the 1940s led to concentration of the population in urban
areas. About one-tenth of the nonagricultural labour force is employed
in manufacturing; less than one-fifth works for state or federal
government agencies. Since the late 1970s, the manufacture of high-
technology products has contributed greatly to the state’s economy.
