I created a map of all tower blocks (existing and demolished) earlier this year, but I didn't do anything with it. Maybe some of you will appreciate this – let me know if any information is incorrect.

  1. Nice! Scotland’s hopes for modern living.

    Ultimately the aspirational working classes wanted the Essex cottage lifestyle instead.

    I wonder what would have happened if the high rises were built properly and socially in the first place and properly maintained. A lot of them are nicer than they’re given credit for

  3. 3 towers coming down a week tomorrow in Motherwell. Draffan +2 next to it.

  5. Hi OP, I’m an architect involved with a group who’re mapping at risk or already demolished buildings across the UK. Would you mind if I passed this along to them please?

  6. Do you have a definition of ‘tower block’? Is it every block of flats above X height?
