Housing campaigners protest against largest property development summit
Activists gather outside MIPIM development's headquarters today

HOUSING campaigners gathered outside the world’s largest property development fair in central London today to demand an end to the sell-off of public land.

The MIPIM development summit brings global property developers, estate agents and banks together with politicians to make lucrative deals worth billions of pounds.

Protesters chanted “MIPIM, shut it down,” as most attending the summit walked hurriedly by with their heads down.
