city of london is the best skyscraper district on earth because seemingly the only planning rule they have is “you can build whatever you want so long as it looks stupid and different to everything else”. it works so well!
“hello we want to build a skyscraper”
“is it stupid?”
“uhhh there’s a public park on the roof and it has a giant lens that melts cars on the street”
“approved!”
"just as long as it doesn't block the view of the south side of the cairn hill from where the westmost window of the old abby used to be before the norman invasion all looks good to me"
