UK-based developer U+I has unveiled plans for "micro-flats" or "town-flats" in central UK, which could help thousands of people priced out of living in the London capital. The micro-flats, which have a floor area of either 19 or 24 sq m, would be built in nine inner city boroughs. The flats would be rental only and would have communal areas. Research suggested that building just five blocks of such homes in each of the boroughs could offer 4,700 extra homes in the city centre. U+I is seeking a landowner to partner with on the developments.
