HOUSING: ICEBERG

摘要

In London, the announcement of massive schemes such as the redevelopment of Battersea Power Station and Earl's Court is indicative of a stubbornly buoyant housing sector that has largely shielded the city's economy from the worst ravages of the downturn. This - along with a mayoral London Plan that appears to be making significant inroads in the quest to improve space and design standards - explains how the capital has consolidated its role as the nucleus of post-recession UK housing activity over the past year.
