Majority of Londoners back skyscraper cap

2nd September 2016

A survey by Ipsos Mori has found that six out of 10 Londonerssupport a limit on the height of new skyscrapers, with the same proportion backing restrictions on the number of buildings with more than 50 floors. Many Londoners, particularly those who live in the most affected areas, think the trend towards ever taller, bolder skyscrapers has gone too far, the survey found. More than 400 buildings of more than 20 floors are in the pipeline in London, according to a recent report by New London Architecture and GL Hearn, which is twice as many as two years ago.
