Greater London, as the economic heart of the UK and a global financial hub, faces significant challenges in housing, transportation, and infrastructure due to its population growth. Marrons suggests that Greater London should expand outward as land within the city becomes increasingly scarce. This requires a joint effort from the government and stakeholders to create sustainable urban plans that ensure new development areas can meet the residential and working needs of the population.

The East Midlands, an important industrial and commercial center in the UK, will also see corresponding economic vitality and social challenges with its population growth. Leicester, a key city in the region, needs to increase its housing construction to meet the growing demands of its residents. Meanwhile, Nottingham, a hotspot for first-time homebuyers, needs to offer more housing options suitable for young families, which will help attract young people to settle and work in the area.

As the issue of aging becomes increasingly prominent, Northamptonshire will become one of the hotspots for senior living development opportunities. By 2040, over one-third of the population is expected to be over 66 years old, creating new demands for elderly services and healthcare. Governments and social institutions need to increase their investment in services for the elderly to ensure they can enjoy high-quality life and healthcare services.

In the various boroughs of London, different areas face distinct challenges and opportunities. Islington will face the challenge of student population growth, expected to increase by 26% by 2040, meaning the area needs to provide more housing and facilities suitable for student living. Meanwhile, Tower Hamlets in East London needs to increase housing construction to meet the growing population demands, especially for post-living housing needs.
