Description
London's housing crisis is a pressing issue, with the city facing its worst shortage of affordable homes in modern times. The situation has become increasingly complex, with luxury apartments being built to cater to foreign investors, rather than addressing the needs of ordinary people. Anna Minton examines the ideological shift that has led to this crisis, where housing is no longer seen as a public good, but rather a market solution driven by global capital. The author cuts through the complexities and jargon to provide a clear-sighted account of how the crisis has developed and how it can be addressed. By doing so, she sheds light on the key factors contributing to the inequalities of a divided nation. This book offers a timely and thought-provoking analysis of the housing crisis in London, providing a clear understanding of the issues at hand and potential solutions.
