London is'running out of space' to house growing population

摘要

London is rapidly running out of space to house its growing population, politicians at City Hall have warned. In a report laying out priorities for the next London mayor, the London Assembly's planning committee has said London must build "up and out" to meet demand, and could become twice as dense as Paris, Rome or Berlin within 35 years. The report calculates London needs to deliver between 49,000 and 62,000 homes a year to accomodate a million new people over the next 10 years, yet there is only space for 42,000 homes to be built annually.
