YouTube Description
as posted by the channelWATCH PART 3 NOW
In the run up to the 2015 general election, a war is going on for the right to live in London. Rapid gentrification – praised as "regeneration" by local councils and property developers, derided as "social cleansing" by critics – is breaking up established communities. In some cases, families who've lived in London for generations are left homeless; in others, they are forced to move across the city or out of it completely. Meanwhile, the real estate opportunities are making lots of people – many of whom do not actually live in London – very rich.
For the first time, MIPIM, the international property trade show, comes to London and Daisy dresses all fancy in an attempt to schmoose Boris. Like Eliza Doolittle, she pronounces her t’s and drinks champagne whilst meeting Heads of Regeneration and finds out what the big cheeses are planning to do with the London skyline.
