The newly proposed Eureka Tower seems less ridiculous in concept, but would also require careful consideration. I am pleased, however, in how the Docklands Stadium is looking - now near completion. It will be able to host games of at least three major football codes. This is a real first. It looks great and can only enhance the inner city.
Skyscrapers can be beautiful and help to define a city.
For too long Melbourne has felt unworthy of such buildings. Even in London previously derided highrise are being converted to luxury apartments and selling for wildly inflated prices. Melbourne has a wonderful opportunity to lead the world and build it's clutch of skyscrapers to modern high standards, both aesthetically and functionally. Melbourne can only benefit from this. Mark Van Driel Fantastic, don't let all those dull resistant bores prevail.
