Ever wondered who are the architects building the City of London skyline? The Future London Skyline layer is created, managed & updated by AccuCities, a leading UK supplier of 3D city models and maps. It represents a collection of 3D models of skyscrapers and landmarks with planning permission already granted. The 3D layer is supplied as part of the 3D city model of London and offers a comprehensive look at how the London Skyline will look in the near to medium future.

City of London Future Skyline Layer

The City of London, often called the Square Mile, hosts some of the most valuable real estates in the world. Building a skyscraper in the City of London requires coordination among architects, engineers, developers, government authorities, and other stakeholders.

One of the most valuable tools architects and planners use when designing in such a dense and complex urban environment is a future skyline model. To allow architects to see all the other developments surrounding their site, a Future Skyline model of the City of London is managed by AccuCities as part of its 3D London model. The CAD model is constantly updated and upgraded, and this includes updates to the Future Skyline layer.
