There is a whole section on how housing is to be managed in London, setting out specific powers for the Greater London Authority. The Act also covers many local authority functions such as community rights, neighbourhood planning and empowering cities, as well as a 'general power of competence' giving them the legal capacity to do anything an individual can do that isn't specifically prohibited.
