Capital struggles to meet rising demand for homes
Financial Times, 04/12/2013, p.2, James Pickford
A study for Berkeley Group, the developer, by Mr Travers and Professor Christine Whitehead of the LSE, said such investment was essential to the supply of affordable housing. Its loss would threaten improved infrastructure funded through planning obligations. "In short, international investors generate additional housebuilding, which relieves rather than exacerbates the pressure on housing supply,” the authors said.

A commanding position
Financial Times, 04/12/2013, p.4, Tony Barber
But the impact on Londoners has been enormous. Non-Britons now account for more than one in two students at the London School of Economics, one in three at University College London, and lesser but still sizeable numbers at the finest private schools such as St Paul's and Westminster. High tuition fees and accommodation costs, not easily affordable for many British families, are driving this trend.
