Sheffield

To Manchester's east is Sheffield, with a metropolitan population of 1.3 million.1 Height restrictions limit high rises that might otherwise block views of the two cathedrals or the Town Hall. The 31 story St. Paul's Tower, a mostly residential building, is the tallest. The city's Park Hill Flats residential complex is nicknamed "Streets in the Sky" for its inter-building walkways.
