A speech on the future of skyscrapers given by His Royal Highness, Charles, the Prince of Wales on December 11, 2001.
The events of September 11 opened up a serious debate about the future of tall buildings. Two items first published on PLANetizen questioned the very survival of the tall utilitarian skyscraper as a building typology: "The End of Tall Buildings", followed by "The Future of Cities: The Absurdity of Modernism". Now Charles, the Prince of Wales, expresses his own very strong opinions on the matter, throwing his considerable weight behind those who call for a re-examination of the skyscraper. While not referring directly to the previous articles, the Prince of Wales clearly sides with the New Urbanist opinions of what constitutes healthy urban form.
