Micro homes to help solve capital’s housing crisis

25th September 2015

Thousands of micro-homes should be built as part of a plan to tackle London’s housing crisis, architect John McAslan has claimed, and that radical changes are needed to prevent London's housing shortage from undermining its ability to remain a leading global city. In micro-housing schemes, residents would live in spaces as small as 250 sq ft and Mr McAslan added that the idea would double the number of younger Londoners able to buy property. Currently, on average, people in rented housing in London spend half their income on rent, rising to 60% in some parts of the city.
