Many people seem to think that the montparnasse tower is the only cause of this ban.

Tour Cristal (100m) in Front de Seine was build in 1990 and don't forget the Bibliotheque Francois Miterrant (80m) built in 1998.

These are higher than the 37m limit. During the 1970's many high-rises building of over 90m where build inside inner Paris.Many people seem to think that the montparnasse tower is the only cause of this ban.This is the list of high rises over 90m (300ft) in inner ParisTour Maine Montparnasse - 210m - 1972Hôtel Concorde Lafayette - 137m - 1974Tour Prélude - 123m - 1979Hôtel Méridien Montparnasse - 116m - 1974Tour Super Italie - 113m - 1973Tour Fugue - 108m - 1979Residence Antoine et Cleopatre - 104m - 197?Tour Anvers - 104m - 197?Tour Athenes 104m - 197?Tour Cortina - 104m - 197?Tour Helsinki - 104m - 197?Tour Londres - 104m - 197?Tour Mexico - 104m - 197?Tour Sapporo - 104m -197?Tour Tokyo - 104m - 197?Tour Chéops - 103m - 197?Tour Mykérinos - 103m - 197?Tour Ancône - 102m - 197?Tour Bologne - 102m - 197?Tour Ferrare - 102m - 197?Tour Palerme - 102m - 197?Tour Ravenne - 102m - 197?Tour Cantate, Orgues de Flandre - 101m - 197?Novotel Paris Tour Eiffel - 100m _ 1976Tour Totem - 100m - 1979Tour Cristal - 100m - 1990Tour Paris Seine - 100m - 1973Tour Paris Côté Seine - 98m - 1977Tour de Seine - 98m - 1973Tour Chambord - 96m - 197?Tour Atlas - 95m - 197?Tour Puccini 95m - 197?Tour Verdi - 95m - 197?Tour Mantoue - 95m - 197?Tour de Mars - 94m - 1974Tour Beaugrenelle - 94m - 1979Tour Perspective 1 - 94m - 1973Tour Perspective 2 - 94m - 1975Tour Reflets - 94m - 1976Tour Avant-Seine - 93m - 1975Tour Espace 2000 - 93m - 1976Tour Evasion 2000 - 93m - 1971Tour Panorama - 94m - 1974Tour Rive Gauche - 93m - 1975Tour Keller - 93m -1970Residences Beryl - 92m - 197?Residences Jade - 92m - 197?Residences Onyx - 92m - 197?Residences Rubis - 92m- 197?Tour Abeille - 92m - 197?Tour Capri - 92m - 197?Tour Rimini - 92m - 197?Tour Chéphren - 90m - 197?Orgues de Flandre 4 - 90mTour Zamansky - 90mmaybe etc...If we include the numberous high-rises in the dense inner suburbs (La Defense by exemple), Paris is by far the city with most high-rises in western Europe.In an other way we also build some high-rises buildings in the inner city when the ban apply.Tour Cristal (100m) in Front de Seine was build in 1990 and don't forget the Bibliotheque Francois Miterrant (80m) built in 1998.These are higher than the 37m limit.
