Teacher-less schools, urban farming & separate migration laws: London 2062?

Is London turning into a city where football clubs such as Arsenal and Chelsea run schools, Londoners commonly convert their roofs into "micro-farms" and people are subject to separate migration laws to the rest of the UK? A new UCL book published today enables academics to give free rein to their imagination and consider how current trends in energy use, transport, education, governance and health might have played out by 2062. In Imagining the Future City: London 2062, world-leading experts in urban planning, geography, politics, engineering, computer science and policy contribute scenarios intended to provoke debate about the choices currently facing Londoners. Potential scenarios envisaged by contributors include: Teacher-less schools, with education taking place through distance learning Due to financial constraints, football clubs begin to step in to fill the gaps in otherwise patchy education services; All cars in the city are electric, with advances in battery technology allowing a distance range of up to 1000km. Car ownership is rare because of prohibitive taxing, but instead people lease them, providing a cheaper and more environmentally friendly means of transport; High speed rail networks, with trains travelling up to 350km an hour, has made commuting into London from Manchester commonplace in 2063, and the travel time from Oxford to the centre of London has been cut down to 30mins; By 2063 flooding will be a serious threat to 1 in 4 homes in London, and buildings on stilts and flood-proof basements will become the norm in new builds; A different migration regime exists in London, independent to the rest of the UK.
