This list of the tallest buildings and structures in Liverpool ranks skyscrapers and structures in Liverpool, England, by height (buildings in the wider Liverpool urban area are listed separately within the article). The tallest building in Liverpool is currently the 40-storey West Tower, which rises on Liverpool's waterfront. It is also the joint 21st-tallest building in the United Kingdom. Liverpool is a city undergoing mass regeneration and older buildings are being demolished to make way for new developments. During the mid-2000s, ten 1960s apartment blocks over tall in the city were demolished. The history of tall buildings and structures in Liverpool began in 1911, with the completion of the Royal Liver Building, which stands at 295 feet (90 metres) and was widely reported to be Britain's first skyscraper. This period marked the pinnacle of Liverpool's economic success, when it regarded itself as the "second city" of the British Empire.〔John Belchem (ed.), ''Liverpool 800: Culture, Character & History'', 2006, ISBN 1-84631-035-0〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.britishvision.co.uk/liverpool.html )〕 In 1965 its 54-year reign as the tallest building in Liverpool came to an end, with the completion of Radio City Tower. At it was originally going to be a ventilation shaft but was later converted into a revolving restaurant and then in 2000 a radio station. In 2008, Radio City Tower was topped by the Beetham Organization's West Tower by two metres. However, this record could soon be broken by the proposed King Edward Tower at , which would also become one of the tallest buildings in the United Kingdom outside London upon completion. There is also an ambitious proposal named Liverpool Waters which, if built, would include most of the city's tallest buildings, with numerous being over fifty storeys tall. However, plans for this development so close to the main waterfront could affect the city's status as a World Heritage Site according to English Heritage. The tallest building ever envisaged for Liverpool was the Otterspool Tower at and 79 storeys. However, the centrepiece for a proposed 1980s 'garden festival' was never built. As of 2015, the tallest building pending approval is the Shanghai Tower which will contain 50 storeys and be at least tall if and when built. ==Tallest buildings and structures in Liverpool== This list ranks the top 38 completed buildings and structures in Liverpool at least 45m tall, which excludes buildings under construction, proposed buildings and cancelled buildings.
