CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION1.1 BackgroundResidential density refers to the quantitative measurement of magnitude of land which isoccupied by population or development. The process of densification is applied to controlresidential density for effective land use planing.

This aspect facilitates scholars in drawing validconclusion-To study sustainability of densification of London suburbsTo analyses the effectiveness of densification in satisfying housing needs of outerLondonTo assess the cost of densification of Outer London in context of Capital’s housing needsTo provide suggestions to meet Capital housing needs using densification Research questionsThe research questions are prepared as follow through which research get assistance forcompletion of study in proper manner-4
Major research question- Is densification of Outer London a sustainable way to satisfy theCapital’s housing needs and if so at what cost?Secondary research questionsAre London Suburbs suitable to accommodate high density developments and if so howdense?Does suburban densification and increased population provide genuine and sustainableopportunities to regenerate declining Outer London town centres and ageing suburbanhousing stock?What are the implications of densification in the London suburban to meet Capitalhousing needs?Can high density in London Suburbs be compatible with the character of this areas ordoes it mean losing their identity and the reasons why people moved to those areas?What are implication of high density development in Outer London?How high density development in the suburban areas can be achieved?Are local residents taken into account when proposing higher density developments andif so to what extend? Does London Planning Authorities regulate towers in Outer London areas or increasingtrend is good way of densification in these areas.1.4 Significance of studyThe study on impact of densification of Outer London on capital’s housing needs playsimportant role for entire capital (London).
