Tall Buildings
Wednesday 20 May 2015
This film illustrates how London's skyline is changing as the capital is developed more densely in order to meet the demands of the growth in population. It forms part of pioneering research conducted annually by NLA and GL Hearn since 2012.
Charting the history of towers in the capital from the 1960s to today, this film investigates the recent increase in tall buildings - both built and proposed - and the rules and regulations which control their introduction, including the London View Management Framework.
