From the very start this has been a brash and ambitious City, and its physical form reflects that. Joburg’s buildings do not have a polite conversation with their neighbours – they want to be heard and they want to be SEEN. So it comes as no surprise that building height has been an important consideration for the City’s architects for 130 years.

Join Adam Golding and Sebastian Chatov as they explore Joburg’s tallest buildings, from Markhams to the Carlton Centre, in a tour encompassing the historic centre and some magnificent views too.
