The emerging Hong Kong diaspora in
London: Understanding the early-stage
interactions between Hong Kong
immigrants under the British Nationals
(Overseas) Visa scheme and the London
housing market.
Shared with the World by Elangkathir Duhindan
This dissertation aims to provide some
empirical qualitative research into the
interactions between Hong Kong
immigrants under the British National
(Overseas) Visa scheme and the London
housing market. Results from structured
questionnaire reveal that property location
is shown to be the most significant housing
determinant for new Hongkongers.
However, spatially, there are signs of coethnic
clustering in traditionally
‘homogenous’ neighbourhoods.
Meanwhile, targeted interviews suggest
that the London housing market is unable
to accommodate to the housing demands
of BNO immigrants both quantitatively and
qualitatively. This dissertation concludes
with a reflection of the London planning
for housing system in terms of Local Planmaking
and the Strategic Housing Market
Assessment, and proposes several
recommendations for the mid- to longterm
planning for the housing impact
brought by the continuing influx of Hong
Kong immigrants.
