About Metropole Metropole documents the brutal uprooting of London’s foundations at the hands of corporate developers, for the benefit of wealthy investors and absentee property speculators. In the wake of aggressive high-end development, genuinely affordable housing has diminished and residents of London are pushed ever further out from the core. Bush takes a psychogeographical approach to photographing the city’s evolving urban landscape and presents extensive research behind 28 major developments — including the property developers behind these schemes and their use of opaque offshore financial structures and political lobbying.
