Accompanying NLA's London Tall Buildings Survey 2023, launched in May 2023, a fly-through video created with VU.CITY gives an idea of the tall buildings in the pipeline, completed, under construction or where planning has been granted.
Why don't they move the city airport over Gatwick or Heathrow you know like share airport so they can cut down airport, so then they can build 350meters skyscraper and maybe hopefully 400meters, plus they don't have to worry about the airport rader?
Building supertall buildings in London is phenomenally expensive owing to the ground conditions. London’s ground is comprised of shrinkable clay and, unlike New York for example,doesn’t have granite bedrock to support them. This means that such buildings need to have massive foundations. Therefore, it’s not simply a question of airport traffic but economics kicks in.
Sure but won't be that tough, City airport is a considerably small airport and its capacity can be moved to Heathrow especially if a 3rd runway is built there even Gatwick can have the capacity for City airport @@peeper2070
