In a time of recession, the challenge of building and planning for
tall buildings has become even more complex; the economics of
development, legislative and planning frameworks, and the local
politics of development must be navigated by those wishing to
design and construct new tall buildings which fit within the fabric
of their host cities. This book is a timely contribution to the
debate about new tall buildings and their role and effect on our
cities. It is divided into two main parts. In part one, the
relationship between tall buildings and planning is outlined,
followed by an exploration of the impacts that construction of tall
buildings can have. It focuses, in particular, on the conservation
debates that proposals for new tall buildings raise. The first part
ends with an analysis of the way in which planning strategies have
evolved to deal with the unique consequences of tall buildings on
their urban locations. The second part of the book focuses on seven
examples of medium-sized cities dealing with planning and
conservation issues, and implications that arise from tall
buildings. These have been chosen to reflect a wide range of
methods to either encourage or to control tall buildings that
cities are deploying. The case studies come from across the western
world, covering England (Manchester, Liverpool, Newcastle and
Birmingham), Norway (Oslo), Ireland (Dublin) and Canada (Vancouver)
and represent a broad spectrum of approaches to dealing with this
issue. In drawing together the experiences of these varied cities,
the book contributes to the ongoing debate about the role of the
tall building in our cities, their potential impacts, and
experiences of those who use and inhabit them. The conclusions
outline how cities should approach the strategic planning of tall
buildings, as well as how they should deal with the consequences of
individual buildings, particularly on the built heritage.
