New: Many of London's post-war housing estates are damp, cramped, and cold. But, it's possible to fix that and cut London's housing shortage. Here's how an estate renewal revolution can build half a million homes and cut London’s emissions samdumitriu.com/p/renew-london…

This ordinary suburban London 3 bed house in Zone 4 metroland was built in the 1930s for ordinary middle class families. Today it costs almost a million pounds and you’d need to be in the top 0.5% of earners to be able to buy it on a mortgage

Building new housing is banned on a lot of land in London. It's not parks or green belt, rather it's mostly concreted over brownfield land. The mayor could easily change this land use to build the homes London needs. Let's talk about Strategic Industrial Locations (SILs) 🧵

Interesting planning at the high-quality King's Cross development. If Lewis Cubitt Park had instead been aligned east-west (red area), it would have got much more sun and the lifeless concrete area south of the current park could have been omitted. Any idea why it wasn’t?

Why is nobody moving house in London? The fall in private renters moving looks big on this chart, but look at the current rate for social renters! About 2% have moved in the last year - if this rate continues the average tenancy will last 50 years. That can't be healthy.
The percentage of households who have moved in the last year in London has been steadily decreasing for the past three decades (1/4)
