These four cities are from North America and Asia and most of skyscrapers are in North America and Asia. This mean most of the skyscrapers is not form Europe and also London, when people talk about skyscraper. (Emporis 2015) Actually London is the top 3 cities have the most skyscrapers in Europe. According to the website (LBC 2015) London also has the tallest building in Europe The Shard (309m) In London, most of the skyscrapers are in two areas The City of London and Canary Wharf.

Literature Review

According to the Economist Newspaper (2014), for most of the 20th century, London was a low rise city and did not have much high rise structures. The tallest commercial building in Britain at the time was in Liverpool. The major reason why London had been a low rise city during that period was due to the London Plan, laid out by the mayor’s office. Sir Edward Lister, the capital’s head of planning decided that tall building can only be built in certain areas. This plan introduced included the concept of protecting the views of St Paul’s Cathedral and the Palace of Westminster. This policy has made the high rise building of city of London becomes dispersed pattern.

David (2014) states that, the existence of the St Paul’s Cathedral has intervened in the debate over Thomas Heatherwick’s Garden Bridge, obstructing the construction of the Garden Bridge. St Paul’s Cathedral council complained to Westminster council about how the Garden Bridge will block existing view of the St Paul’s Cathedral. Director of Caroe Architecture says if building of the Garden Bridge have been built this mean “there will be irreversible impacts on some of the most iconic views of St Paul’s Cathedral, to the detriment of our capital city.” And he also says that the application should be rejected because the Garden Bridge has not “adequately evidenced their own mitigation argument” over the damage to the views.

Lori (2015) claims that, because of the protect views policy no one can build something behind and near St Paul’s Cathedral. It will block the view from the riverside. London’s tallest building The Shard it’s bounded left and right by these protected views, but it sits just outside them. And also explains the odd shape of Leadenhall Building. The view of St Paul’s from Fleet Street had to be protected, and the tower ‘leaning back’ was enough to satisfy the planning committee

In summary of the literature, St Paul’s Cathedral affects The City of London. The protect views policy is the major reason. This policy affects the planning decide of The City of London. It let London has an odd city planning. Even the design of the buildings around St Paul’s Cathedral has been affect.
