Will affordable housing be the casualty as London tackles its building emergency?
The news article discusses the decline in construction activity in London, which has caused alarm among policymakers. The analysis from Molior, a consultancy, shows that new housebuilding in the capital has collapsed, with only 40,000 homes under construction, which is two-thirds the normal rate. Moreover, in the first three months of the year, builders started work on just 3,248 private sector units. The mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, and the UK government (Whitehall) are facing pushback over "extreme solutions" to tackle this "building emergency." The article suggests that affordable housing may be the casualty as London tries to address this issue.
