Sudbury’s skyline is about to lose one of its most recognizable features—the towering Inco Superstack—as mining giant Vale Base Metals moves forward with demolition plans. The 380-meter stack, once a symbol of the city’s industrial might, is coming down, marking the end of an era for locals who’ve grown up with it dominating the view.

Editor’s Note: Love it or hate it, the Superstack has been a defining part of Sudbury’s identity for decades. Its removal isn’t just about changing scenery—it reflects shifts in industry, environmental priorities, and how the city sees itself moving forward. For residents, it’s bittersweet: progress, but with a hint of nostalgia for a landmark that’s sparked everything from pride to pollution debates.

Glasgow’s city council just greenlit a new policy aimed at shaping how skyscrapers and tall buildings pop up across the city. The idea is to manage growth carefully—so the skyline evolves without turning into a free-for-all of towering structures. It’s not a blank check for developers, but a nudge to rethink urban density in a way that (hopefully) balances modern needs with the city’s historic charm.

Editor’s Note: Glasgow’s identity is partly tied to its mix of Victorian grandeur and gritty industrial heritage, so any move to add skyscrapers is a big deal. This policy signals the city’s preparing for growth—whether that means more housing, offices, or just a flashier skyline. But it also raises questions: Will locals embrace the change, or will it spark debates about preserving the city’s character? Either way, it’s a step toward defining what a 21st-century Glasgow looks like.
