"If resistance to tall buildings continues, all our cities will become more and more diluted by peripheral and satellite development. Over time the advantages of distant locations will seem more attractive to developers. Over time the boundaries that separate cities from rural areas will dissolve away. Over time what was once contained within the ancient walls of a city will leak away to the provinces and beyond. Anaesthetised by the challenge of the present, our city planners are clinging to the past. As a result the future, the dilution and decentralisation they dread, advances upon them unopposed."
