A city’s skyline is its public face. And, like the faces of those we hold dear, we hold certain skylines in our minds’ eyes even when far away from them in terms of time or distance. For, once seen, how could anyone forget the lyrical skylines of Edinburgh, Manhattan, Hong Kong or Helsinki?
Like faces, however, skylines tend to change with age, although with commercially successful cities they get superficially younger as they get older, taller rather than wizened, gleaming rather than wrinkling. Just look at the skyline of today’s City of London, all brand new bling skyscrapers jostling for attention like wannabe pop-stars at a noisy music awards evening.
