Labour and Housing Market Change in London: A Longitudinal Analysis, 1971-1981

In market economies the housing market operates to sift and sort households into different sections of the market by occupation and income. Changes in the distribution of households across the housing market can therefore occur as a result of changes in the structure of occupation and income or changes in the supply of housing by tenure and price. Britain has witnessed major changes in both occupational composition and the tenure structure of the housing market over the last 20 years and this research examines the interrelations between these changes in London from 1971 to 1981 using data from the OPCS Longitudinal Study.

Social Change in London

Despite its significance, the middle-class recolonization of inner-city areas, or gentrifica tion in London are examined and explanations are offered for this process. It is argued that gentrification has important implications for both the organization of the housing market and for traditional theorizations about the structure of cities.

The implications for the conurbations of population changes (with particular reference to London).

Stone P. A. (1978) The implications for the conurbations of population changes, Reg. Studies 12, 95–123. This paper examines the change of population levels in the conurbations and the regions, and indicates how the conurbations are in decline while other areas have growing populations. The reason for such changes and the consequences for the conurbations are examined through an examination of changes in London. This considers comparative environmental conditions, government regional and congestion policies, and changes in the industrial economy, and the consequences for employment, earnings and incomes. Action to counter the current decline of the conurbations is considered with reference to the problems for finance and for government policy for regional and new term development.
