Briefing Paper Series 2011

7 December 2011

The five briefing papers below, written by LSE academics and edited by Ben Kochan, summarize the research published by LSE London and presentations made at our events in  the academic year 2010-2011. Taken in the context of  London's new economic and political developments, the goal of this HEIF4-funded series is to clarify overall trends and implications in a different, more readable format that can be applied by practitioners and policy makers alike. The subjects of the papers range from inequality, suburbs and the recession, to the private rented sector and Outer London.
