Liverpools Skyline: A Tale of Two Cities explores the contrasting urban development between Liverpool and Manchester. While Manchester boasts a transformed skyline with numerous skyscrapers, Liverpool lags behind, with its tallest building, the West Tower, standing alone. A recent planning committee meeting highlighted this disparity, with a councilor questioning a developer about the lack of ambition for taller buildings. The developers representative, Adam Hall, explained that economic factors, such as construction efficiency and windy conditions, make it unfeasible for builders to go higher. However, exciting plans like the King Edward Triangle development could potentially encourage more high-rise projects, helping Liverpool catch up in its urban landscape.
