Paris has banned all new buildings above 37m, reviving a height limit first set in 1977.

The city council won a vote last night on the rule, which has been triggered by a row over Herzog & de Meuron's 180m-tall Le Triangle tower.

@Furmadamadam If you got to Charleston, you have to visit this place. Deeply disturbing history (a former plantation) that is treated in an incredibly anodyne way. But undeniably beautiful. https://t.co/kqaQMkLIve
