| Summary: | High-rise is in Rotterdam's DNA. As early as 1898, the city attracted attention with Het Witte Huis, which at 43 meters was considered Europe's tallest office building at the time.

City without fear of heights takes stock of the past decades of high-rise construction and describes main lessons and learning points. |
