A Japanese developer has been announced it will demolish a new tower of luxury flats in Tokyo only weeks from completing. The reason? The 10-storey building was blocking beautiful views of Mount Fuji.

The idea a developer would reach such a decision in Britain is inconceivable. In London, flats are usually built to make a profit. If they have a beautiful view, good luck to those who buying them. To hell with anyone else’s beauty.

One of what was the government’s last decision greenlighting a huge 20-storey concrete slab that is being about to rise on the banks of the Thames next to the National Theatre.

It is hideous, and will dominate the once-glorious view of the St Paul’s cathedral from Waterloo Bridge. Paradoxically, its developer is a Japanese Corporation Mitsubishi.

I cannot imagine another world city that would permit such visual outrages. Parisians laugh with derision at what has been done to London’s skyline. Romans are astonished. Americans ask, but who is in charge?
Ответ

High-buildings policy in the capital is supposedly overseen by the mayor, at present Sadiq Khan. Like his predecessors, Ken Livingstone and Boris Johnson, he has no sense of beauty. Government ministers also hardly refuse to interfere because their party coffers are stuffed by the building lobby.
Ответ

In Tokyo, we see democracy working. The Fuji affair is that of a community demanding that the beauty of its surroundings shall be respected by elected authority.
Ответ
15.
The sadness is that no British politician has the guts to tell Mitsubishi to show London the deference to beauty demanded in Japan.
