Focusing on the advent of build to rent in London, this article considers how the financialisation and commodification of rental housing raises fundamental questions about the purpose of housing and how its value is imagined, and in doing so, it attends to the necessity of challenging the transformation of London into a city shaped by the survival of the financially fittest. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of London Journal is the property of Taylor & Francis Ltd and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
