LONDON PROBLEM (HAUS CURIOSITIES) (PB)

The United Kingdom has never had an easy relationship with its capital. Far and away the wealthiest and most populous city in the country, London is the political, financial and cultural centre of the UK and it is responsible for almost a quarter of its economic output. Yet the city's insatiable growth and perceived political dominance have caused national leaders grave concern for hundreds of years. This book asks whether the capital's relentless growth and stranglehold on commerce and culture will ever leave room for other regions to compete.
