EPISODE 9 begins an exploration of the proliferation of private student housing – and resulting studentification – in Newcastle. I view a student apartment at Liberty Quay (from Liberty Living Limited) with Roger Burrows, who is Professor of Cities at Newcastle University. We discuss Roger’s research into the re-placement of the “just rich” by the super-rich in West London; and London City Island as built using ground that was dug up to make way for multi-storey basement extensions in Kensington homes; education as a means of property investment; and post-Brexit dystopias.
