Urban demographics:why people live where they do

We have seen a return to urban living…

…particularly since the turn of the century…

…driven by students and young professionals

But this varies across large cities

Not all city centres offer the benefit of city centre living

Jobs are likely to continue to cluster in our most successful city centres…

…and this will affect where people choose to live in the future…

…which will increase competition for space
