For example major nodes like Camden Town, Clapham Junction, and West
Hampstead would see high rise (32, 22, 12 floor, depending) condos
over and around the mass transit stations. The hinterlands,
Wandsworth, Hampstead, et al, would remain lower density family
oriented areas.

As a foreigner, I continue to consider curious to consider only the
extrema of very high rise buildings and uni-familiar homes. Here in
Italy in cities ("citta'" which for us can be cities or largish towns)
the most common building range from 4 floor ( 1950) to 8 floor.
Anything higher than that will be a "skyscraper" office building.
Uni-familiar or bi-familiar homes are unusual in cities, and common
instead in "paesi" (small towns or villages).
