Imagine yourself in the place of the mayor of London, who has the Sheikh of Qatar at the door with 350 million pounds in one hand and the Shard skyscraper project in the other hand. It's hard to agree, because the architecture is controversial, and London protests. It's hard to refuse, because the good money that the sheikh is ready to bury forever in your city. And he wisely agrees. In 20-30 years, when the sheikh dies, London will make another wise decision - to demolish for inconsistency with the urban landscape with a payment of 350 million pounds.
