The new Amsterdam at Liverpool?

Deprived of its unique dockland waters Liverpool
becomes a Venice without canals, just another city, no
longer of special interest to anyone, least of all the
tourist. Would we visit a modernised Venice of filled in
canals to view its modern museum describing
how it once was?

It has to be said that developers by and large aren't interested in making the place look attractive, just maximising what money they can make out of the smallest footprint. This goes for whether it's someone buying up lovely old victorian detached properties and ripping them out and turning them into flats - or - apartments as that word gets more rent.
Gregs dad is correct in that it must be annoying for the owners in these high rises with a view paying top wack only for another tower block to be built directly in the view line of it blocking out the Welsh mountains et al.

The taller the more they make ,meaning they can appoint the building better with superior design and materials. Look at Liverpool when almost every building gets 5 to 10 floors lopped off. The well appointed foyer get the marble taken away, the exterior gets cheaper finishing, etc. From a well designed building it ends up poorly finished bland forgettable stump - so Liverpool.
If we are going to build modern buildings, build them properly: tall, well designed and appointed.

You only have to look at the Waterloo dock,They developed that into luxury apartments with view across the river, showed people the model of how it would look. A couple of tears later they built a block half as high again in front of them, which wasn`t on the model, so depriving half of the first tenanants of the views.

They were naive to think that blank quay would be left vacant. Also the best views are when they face inwards into the dock waterspaces, not to the tidal river, with mud at low tide, which is quite bland. The Albert Dock shelters those on the quays from the wind. The way to do it.

I am a fan of this Skyscraper in Osaka. Two buildings connected and inbetween them high up is a bridge that goes across from one to the other and the public can go up and get a view of the city from them which is about 2 or 3 pounds odd in our money!
