Thought Leadership - Evolving London: The future shape of the capital, Spring 2012

Report Summary:

London is evolving rapidly. The next decade will see continued major property market, physical and socio-economic change in many parts of the capital.

This change will be driven by a combination of factors, including major new infrastructure, relentless long-term market trends and emergent market needs, and the impact of national and city-wide policies, amongst others.

In an attempt to establish a clearer understanding of where the greatest change is likely to take place, Centre for Cities and GVA have collaborated to research the impact of the most significant of these factors across London.

The essential question for local government, investors and developers is which parts of London will change the most over the next 10 years, and what will influence that change? This report seeks to answer that question.

It investigates investment potential across different parts of London, in residential and in different commercial markets. It analyses the most important factors that will influence prospects for development and regeneration for each of London’s boroughs and how they may work in combination to produce places to watch.

It is hoped that the findings will assist the private sector in making important decisions about where to invest, while helping the public sector respond to these pressures, and to address those areas that need continuing support.
