Living is a unique #realestate asset class. Stakeholders must recognise city-specific characteristics to provide quality + appropriate housing solutions.

Read JLL's report 'European City Dynamics' to understand the trends to be aware of. @JLLUKResi

Must be a coincidence on the @BBCNews homepage #Brexit

Birds eye view of @Adam_Challis presenting @JLL residential forecasts.

Weak house price performance during #Brexit transition, modest growth into mid 2020s. Good for consumers?

My last @centreforlondon report, from beyond the grave (so to speak), coauthored with @NicolasBosetti.

It’s a good ‘un, with really interesting data on London’s empty spaces, plus analysis on what they could do for the capital on a meanwhile basis.

[Centre for London @centreforlondon]

This Wednesday: We'll be publishing a new report by @NicolasBosetti & @tom_colthorpe on how we can make the most of London's unused spaces.

*Personal news*

After nearly 2 years, I’m leaving @centreforlondon - thanks to all colleagues (past and present) and those I’ve worked with for making it such an interesting and great place to work!

Excited to start my new role in the @JLL residential research team this week.

[Tom Colthorpe @tom_colthorpe]

@BBCTimDonovan @centreforlondon Theoretically yes, although 1) we are unsure of GVA/GDP figures, and 2) likely with moves to just outside LDN, many will still work in the city so share its prosperity

My 5th and final @centreforlondon The London Intelligence shows economy in #London is resilient + performing well, but population growth slowing and fewer int'l arrivals may be ominous.

@CharlesWright57 Push and pull factors for sure. It was losing people to London as recently as 2012, as per this @FT analysis from a couple of weeks ago:

Packed room for @centreforlondon #boroughbuilders report launch.

@vpinoncely setting out how much direct delivery is going on in #London and how much more boroughs could be doing.

Nearly 40,000 of potential over next 5 yrs!

[Tom Colthorpe @tom_colthorpe]

Great panel discussion at preview event for @centreforlondon project on meanwhile use in #London @uandiplc

@Kat_HannaLDN - does meanwhile offer more flexibility than currently available?

@easyJet This is an absolute joke. Zero information provided at the airport. Sort it out.

[Tom Colthorpe @tom_colthorpe]

I spoke to the @Telegraph about the value of a #geography degree for me and my peers @oxfordgeography

It’s not the stereotype of colouring in and naming capitals, but develops skills and sets you up for any career.

[Tom Colthorpe @tom_colthorpe]

@MarioWIhieme presenting her idea to culturally connect London and the rest of the UK: offering intercity exchange programmes through schools @centreforlondon #ideasforlondon

[Tom Colthorpe @tom_colthorpe]

Things in #London fluctuate more than you might think with the #weather.

I had an explore of whether heatwaves and snow depress crime rates, account for drops in tube and bus passengers, and affect air pollution across the capital.

Changes in London aren’t always down to politics. Sometimes, they’re down to the weather, argues @tom_colthorpe https://t.co/eEzuZxkEHP

[electionmapsuk @electionmapsuk]

Here is the overall view by ward winner of #London in #LE2018.

Not as much change a you'd think but to me the main takes are:

- Yellow surge in the SW
- Greens breaking through in a few inner-London wards
- UKIP gone (not that there was much)
- Labour still hugely dominant

[Tom Colthorpe @tom_colthorpe]

New London councillors are having to deal with increasing tight budgets, new @centreforlondon analysis reveals. Per head budgets fell 18.7% 2010/11 to 2017/18.

New @centreforlondon report looking at challenges and opportunities for London’s future workforce including #automation #brexit and #skills

Ongoing education essential - not just for young people but throughout career. New jobs are coming, we need to prepare.

I spoke to @insomniacsteel @WiredUK about #cycling in London. Have a read of the really interesting piece here:

Four hours ago I wrote that the £23k milestone was in sight. Now, the £24k milestone is in sight. And 96% of £25k target raised. For fairer, truer, London journalism - and more of it in future! - please pledge here: https://t.co/FtS5YZUCq5

Nobody really knows why the Tube is getting less and less crowded.
