Paris has formally reinstated the city’s restriction on new building heights. The dispute surrounding the building of Herzog & de Meuron’s Tour Triangle skyscraper was one of the key determinants of the decisions. The new regulation caps the height of new structures in the French capital to 12 stories or 37 meters.
About the Ban by Paris
Since 1977 Paris had the planning law in place. In addition, in 2010, then-mayor Bertrand Delano repealed the law. Additionally, he established new height restrictions of 180 meters for office buildings and 50 meters for residential structures.
The new prohibition is a component of a higher Bioclimatic Urban Plan. In addition, it aims to lower carbon emissions throughout the city. Green Councillor Émile Meunier proposed the law. Additionally, Mayor Anne Hidalgo implemented the law.
Closing Note
After being delayed for a decade, Tour Triangle started building in 2021. In addition, it is likely to will finish by 2026. At a maximum height of 180 meters (590 feet), it will be the third-tallest structure in the city.
