Parisian style development can provide 500,000 London homes

7th July 2017

More than half a million homes could be built in London without sacrificing green space by copying Paris and replacing existing buildings with five storey apartment blocks, the Campaign to Protect Rural England says. Its new report suggests building low-rise development over schools and commercial buildings to protect the Green Belt, estimating that there is enough "airspace" above existing one or two-storey buildings in the capital to provide at least 500,000 new homes.
