Facing Britain’s Challenges:
a Catalyst for Growth
London’s population is expected to grow by 2.3 million by
2041, driven by rising life expectancy, a high birth rate and an
increasing number of young people settling in the city – 10%
of the population is between 25 and 29 years old. Between
2004 and 2013, an average of 21,000 houses were delivered
each year – to meet demand, the rate of construction must
increase to over 50,000.
