London in the 21st Century: Communities or Ghost-towns? Housing in London

At the time of the debate, much of central London was derelict. The number of people sleeping rough in London had never been higher. Could London's neighbourhoods be revived? What could be done to break up the zones of private wealth and inner-city poverty? How and where would Londoners, rich and poor, be housed in the 21st Century?
