The proposed London Bridge Tower skyscraper soars 1000 feet tall; it would be the tallest building in Europe. But London – which historically hasn’t allowed giant buildings, is debating the wisdom of such a building. It’s not just an argument about architecture but a fight over how development is determined. And it looks – at least for the moment – as though developers have the upper hand. “Until we have world peace, socialism triumphant and pigs with wings, we have chosen, in Britain especially, to have private capital gamble with our space. It’s property developers who give us most of our architecture.”
