Businesses:
I think you need two things:  partly, you need some regulatory mechanisms to try and make sure that rental levels remain affordable for some of those businesses, and you can do this through mechanisms like handing over some of the space to a community development trust or something rather like they do at Coin Street for the Oxo Tower and so on, so it can be administered on principles, agreed principles, rather than simply profit maximising on every square foot. A perfectly good example of how to do that.

The other thing I think is about the kind of buildings you build, you know... If you just build huge great buildings with huge floor space with a great entrance hall and an atrium and thousands of square metres then this is almost inevitably going to end up with large corporations in. You need to build space of great variety of kinds and sizes available on different kinds of leases for different lengths of time, you know so that some of those are really plausible places for smaller firms, start ups and so on, it’s to do with the physical design.
