Manchester is a major city and metropolitan borough with a population of .〔http://www.manchester.gov.uk/download/downloads/id/21397/a01_manchester_factsheet_january_2014〕 It is at the centre of the wider Greater Manchester Urban Area which had a population of according to the United Kingdom Census 2011. Manchester is historically notable for being the world’s first industrialised city〔 • • 〕 and for the subsequent leading role it played during the Industrial Revolution. The city centre, the location of most of Manchester's tallest buildings and structures, is a regional central business district. For completed buildings, this list includes the year of completion, the height in metres and feet and its current usage. The tallest building in the United Kingdom outside London, the city's Beetham Tower, was completed in October 2006. It is 47 storeys and high and consists of residential apartments and a Hilton Hotel.〔 On the list of tallest structures are the 19th century Manchester Town Hall and the Refuge Assurance Building (now more commonly known as the Palace Hotel) from the early 20th century. The Manchester Assize Courts, once the tallest building in the city at 85 metres, was demolished after suffering unrepairable damage during the Manchester Blitz. One of the first proposed skyscrapers in the city was the Quay Street Tower, projected to be completed in 1948, which would have stood at and would have been the tallest tower in Europe. The proposal was rejected and said to be inconsiderate, as much of the city was still rebuilding after the Manchester Blitz of the Second World War.〔 Most of Manchester's current towers were built during the 1960s and 1970s. This included the CIS Tower, the UK's tallest building outside London for 43 years. One major advantage Manchester has is that, unlike most major cities in the UK, there are no height restrictions and adopt a laissez-faire attitude towards city centre high rises. As a result, in the 2000s (decade), there has been a renewed interest in building skyscrapers in Manchester and other cities in Britain. Several residential, hotel and office developments are under construction or have recently been built in the city centre, including the Beetham Tower. There are currently four skyscrapers with a height of or more,〔http://www.emporis.com/city/manchester-unitedkingdom/skyscrapers〕 and 153 high-rise buildings with a height of at least or more.〔http://www.emporis.com/city/manchester-unitedkingdom/existing-buildings/8〕 This is the second highest amount in the United Kingdom, after London ==Tallest buildings and structures== This list ranks externally complete Manchester buildings and free-standing structures that stand at least , based on standard height measurement.
