I have just caught up with Oliver Wainwright’s article in this morning’s Guardian about the latest high-rise in the City (it’s one of the benefits of waiting two hours for a non-arriving train).

He says what many people think: that is everyone except those in charge of the City.

But it is now probably too late to halt what is happening.  Someone was asleep at the helm.  It was Peter Rees who was responsible for the idea of the high-rise Square Mile in a glorious and magnificent cluster.
