Housing minister Michael Gove’s veto of the 305m Tulip in the heart of the City of London was wrong, writes Matthew Lynn in the Telegraph.
Brash, bold and innovative towers are what the Square Mile is all about and not allowing them could make London “as dead as Paris and dull as Frankfurt”, he writes.
London needs to keep attracting those kinds of businesses, and a flash skyscraper remains the best way of luring them in.
