You are right, it's a different approach. I am sure you are aware that London has many more towers than paris, but in paris the towers are all built in one cluster, while in London there are many clusters. The reason for this is London wants to have a very big skyline, where lots of its clusters merge and create one giant city wide skyline, This is different than the small single cluster cities like Frankfurt or paris. Also many London towers under construction are luxury residential towers and they get built wherever the buyers want them to be built, so we are ended up having skyscraper clusters going up all over London, but when they merge it will be awesome. Having said that, just canary wharf cluster in London alone, in a few years, will be bigger than Frankfurt and la defense, and that's just one of londons clusters, more and bigger clusters are being built in London allready. Think of la defense, and imagine having ten of them, with taller towers, better designs and materials, and better cladding, that is what London will have
