Too many ugly uninspired and domineering skyscrapers are now in London smothering Londoners in darkness. They have been put in ridiculous places, in the old parts and by listed buildings. They are often owned by rich fatcats. Other countries put them in ‘old towns’, so they’re separate. In the UK, skyscrapers are put up indiscriminately.
Now these skyscrapers are being built put along the Thames. You only have to see Tower Bridge and if you take a photo, a skyscraper is blocking the view. Disabled people would find it hard to live in them, particularly if the lifts are broken and the fire brigade would find it hard to rescue people in the event of a fire.
Some of these skyscrapers are now going into receivership, some are finding it hard to attract businesses due to high rents, leaving a shell of a building. Skyscrapers are a terrorist target and a danger to helicopters, they are so tall, they get in the way of aircraft.
These developers, estate agents and planners just do not care. They don’t walk outside and imagine what it would be like.
