Life in the 'Alpha Territory': London's 'Super-Rich' Neighbourhoods
If people construe the super-rich as a little-known social group - but one that appears to have a disproportionate impact on our lives - they need to be viewed in their natural habitat. The research will profile six carefully selected super-rich neighbourhoods in and around London. The aim is to produce datasets from which the public, policymakers and academic commentators can learn more about this group.
