However, height is often determined both by the market and what is practical to build in a certain context. So, a height limit of 65, 80, or even 100 metres might be deemed reasonable in this context. Having no height limit is like no speed limit on a highway.
I understand but I dont think the market is strong enough to support a 70 story or 120 story building lol, this way it lets the market dictate it and it's in a concentrated area so no one developer can buy it ALL up and build a massive tall huge based building.


on a side note german highways do not have speed limits
