Capital’s workers face living in ‘micro flats’

London’s housing crisis will force workers to live in so-called “micro flats” to avoid being exiled to more affordable commuter towns. Housing in and near the centre of the capital is now so expensive that developers are resorting to building tiny homes in order to meet demand. London-based firm U+I is one developer working up plans to build thousands of flats in the capital’s centre which are around half of the recommended minimum of 37 sq m, to cater for workers struggling to rent.
