(CNN)While the skyline of London surges upward on a tide of new and startling towers, its eternal rival in Paris has taken the opposite approach.

After the deeply unpopular Tour Montparnasse was built in 1973, skyscrapers were effectively prohibited by a 36-meter height limit for new buildings in the city.

The limit was designed to preserve Paris' unique aesthetic, forged by Baron Haussmann's 19th century renovation, which created its iconic boulevards, public gardens, and housing blocks ringed with balconies.

Interesting competition of the planned monster triangle in Paris.........



Should work go ahead as planned, Paris may be moving away from its traditions, to follow the footsteps of its old enemies in London.
