London could become a city of residential skyscrapers unless existing planning laws are altered, an urban economist has said. With outward expansion prevented by policies to protect the green belt, the UK capital will need to grow vertically as the population increases, said Gabriel Ahlfeldt, associate professor of urban economics and land development at the London School of Economics. In a paper titled “The vertical city: the price of land and the height of buildings in Chicago 1970-2010”, he compared London’s situation to Chicago’s, where “architects, developers and planners seem intent on winning the prize for the highest build”.

This graduate conveyor belt just isn't working
The Daily Telegraph (Main), 20/08/2015, p.19, Martin Vander Weyer
If you want to become a high-paid graduate trainee in the financial sector, your chances are still far higher if you come from Oxbridge, the LSE or Imperial College London. If you studied a vocational subject such as medicine (human or veterinary), law or music, you have a career path ahead of you.

Sky-high London rents prompt calls for new controls on landlords
The Guardian.com (Web), 19/08/2015, Lisa Ocarroll
Sarah Hayward, Camden council’s Labour leader, who commissioned a report from the London School of Economics and Political Science on the global renting experience, argues that unless fair rent, as opposed to market rent, becomes the norm, the capital will “lose its soul”.
