Tall Building Boom In London Defies Grenfell Fears

Cranes work on a construction site near to the 50-storey St George Wharf Tower in the Vauxhall area of London, England, on July 15, 2019. Research by the New London Architecture forum released earlier this year revealed that 76 tall buildings (defined as those over 20 storeys high) are projected to be completed in the capital over the course of 2019, just two years on from the devastating fire at residential high-rise Grenfell Tower in North Kensington. The figure represents a three-fold increase over the number of completions in 2018, with the NLA's 2019 'London Tall Buildings Survey' estimating that those towers under construction may altogether provide more than 110,000 new homes across the city.
