| Sumario: | In 1991, London, England had only two skyscrapers, by global standards: the 800-foot Canary Wharf Tower, designed by Cesar Pelli, and the 600-foot National Westminster Bank Tower. The city has strict rules on building height, and permission to build skyscrapers is granted on a case-by-case basis, meaning the ones that get through are notable landmarks, like Norman Foster's Swiss Re tower. Swiss Re's transformation of London's skyline unleashes the prospect of a new picture-postcard image of London as skyscraper development is set to catapult it into a new era.
