Published On: 6th November 2025

Speakers at a London Society housing event argued the Square Mile could benefit with more people living there.

Charles Wright reported on the meeting in ON LONDON here.

The City’s leader, Chris Hayward, had said most of its housing stock was “in need of substantial regeneration” and there was a need to “build affordable housing for young City professionals”.

Barbican Residents Association chair Jan-Marc Petroschka called for identification of “stranded” offices suitable for conversion.
