you didn't know, Liverpool is built on a hill therefore people living in areas such as west derby and croxteth will never be able to see any tall building

in the city centre and finally, just because a building is tall doesn't mean it is great, for example, the World Trade Center buildings where tall but

visualy unimpressive and poorly built.
On these skyscraper sites the loonies there drool on about how tall this is and that is, and what a

skyline. Paris has few talls, yet what a city!!!



Croydon has a number of talls in a cluster - not one is of any merit at all. The same with most of

Birmingham and Manchester. Birmingham has one iconic building of any type and Manchester none. Most of the talls are from identikit skyscraper boxes. Very

third world

People in a city see it from the ground and what is offered to them on the ground.

Tall buildings have their place. They have to be

quality as they are so prominent.
