Description

"The first of London's buildings to exceed the thirty metre limit set by the fire brigade were London Transport's Broadway headquarters and London University's Senate House. For the last seventy-five years, architects, developers, politicians and the general public have struggled, planned and schemed to erect, or to prevent the erection of, ever taller buildings. Via Centrepoint, Canary Wharf, the Gherkin and beyond, this lively and provocative book chronicles, details and illustrates more than 120 tall buildings in London. This invaluable sourcebook is an original and at times devastating critique of how we live and take decisions, and how we have lived and been ruled and overruled."--Jacket.
