Tall Buildings
London is now a city of tall buildings, a city traditionally associated with a low-rise, low-density character. In the past decade, major new clusters of tall buildings have emerged in areas such as Nine Elms, Elephant and Castle, the Isle of Dogs and the City of London. And still more are to come, with a pipeline of over 500 tall buildings either in planning, approved or under construction in the capital. NLA has played a vital role in this debate and this Panel will play in key role in developing NLA’s contribution, including placemaking and environmental impacts of towers, construction of towers post Grenfell, and attitudes to tall buildings for those living and working in the capital.
