Description
Tall buildings are increasingly being built in cities around the world, but their impact on urban development is complex and multifaceted. This book explores the relationship between tall buildings and planning, as well as the conservation debates that arise from proposals for new tall buildings. The author examines how planning strategies have evolved to deal with the unique consequences of tall buildings on their urban locations, and presents seven case studies from medium-sized cities across the western world. These examples illustrate a range of approaches to managing the impact of tall buildings, from encouraging their development to controlling its effects. By drawing together the experiences of these varied cities, this book contributes to the ongoing debate about the role of tall buildings in our cities, and their potential impacts on urban environments.
