The London Plan forecasts that student numbers will reach 350,000 by 2041/42 – with current figures already breaching this prediction, how can the industry ensure that we deliver affordable living accommodation for students? At the same time, relieving pressure on other parts of London’s strained housing market, such as the private rented sector (PRS) and Built-to-Rent.
The Higher Education Policy Institute’s (HEPI) ‘Demand for Higher Education to 2035’ 2020 report predicts that the number of students choosing the Capital as their study destination will only grow.
