City Skyline
the skyline of Lietene's city centre from Caranerre Hill:
In 1931, the Lietene City Council voted to place an outright ban on high-rise buildings over the height of 150ft from being constructed within the capital's territory. The main reason given for the ban was that the council did not see the need for such 'atrocious eyesores' to be erected in the city- the capital's beauty and historical skyline had to be protected. The ban was lifted in 2006, and was replaced with an agreement that would only allow high-rises to be built in certain areas of the city and that they must be under 550ft high.
