London Plan Business Improvement Districts

<p>A Business Improvement District (BID) is a defined area within which local businesses are required to pay an additional levy. The collected tax will be invested locally to fund projects within the district's boundaries. The BID is often funded primarily through the levy but can also draw on other public and private funding streams. There are currently 70 London BIDs with new ones being developed every year.</p> <p>Note: The dataset was created by the GLA's GIS team&nbsp;through digitisation of maps published by the BID creators. These original mapsvary in quality&nbsp;and scales of resolution, as a result the GLA cannot guarantee the exact boundary locations.</p> <p>There is an inconsistency between the number of&nbsp;BID&nbsp;polygons and&nbsp;number of BIDs, this is due to some BID polygons having multiple BID types e.g.&nbsp;Town Centre, Property and Industrial.&nbsp;</p> <p>Please direct an queries you may have to the contacts below.&nbsp;</p>商业改善区（Business Improvement District，简称BID）是指划定的特定区域，区内本地商户须缴纳额外附加税。所征税款将投入区域本地，用于资助辖区范围内的各类项目。BID的资金来源主要以该附加税为主，同时也可依托其他公共及私人融资渠道获取支持。目前伦敦共有70个商业改善区，且每年均有新的BID筹备设立。 注：本数据集由大伦敦管理局（Greater London Authority，简称GLA）的地理信息系统（Geographic Information System，简称GIS）团队，通过对BID创建方发布的原始地图进行数字化处理而成。由于原始地图的质量与分辨率尺度存在差异，大伦敦管理局无法保证边界位置的精确性。 BID多边形数量与BID实际注册数量存在不一致，这是因为部分BID多边形涵盖了多种BID类型，例如市中心型、物业型及产业型。 如有任何疑问，请联系下文所列联系人。
