Torrent description

Vertical City takes a high rise hike around the globe’s most iconic skyscrapers, seeing these potent symbols of ambition and wealth from a fresh perspective.

Scaling the tallest towers across the world from New York to Sweden, from Chicago to Melbourne, architects Charlie Luxton (BBC3’s Dreamspaces & BBC2’s Restored to Glory) and Keith Keaveney get high and see these bold buildings on a grand scale and at great heights from a unique perspective, as well as uncovering the stories of power, politics and daring design that lie behind them.

From interviewing the world’s leading architects – including Santiago Calatrava and Cesar Pelli – to taking a breathtaking ride down the side of each building to touch and view these awesome skyscrapers up close and personal, the presenters reveal every hidden secret of ten supertowers.

Vertical City also paints an intimate portrait of each tower by meeting the people who have a special relationship with it – from office workers and residents, to the window washers and those who carry out repairs on top of the world’s most instantly recognizable icons.

Filmed in HD, the series features fantastic aerial footage and dynamic visuals to capture design details that can be lost at ground level but which make the buildings truly come alive.

S01E05 - Q1, Australian Gold Coast

From a trendy beachbum dropout to the Miami of the Southern Hemisphere, Surfer's Paradise has come a long way from a small town with great waves perched on the south-east coast of Australia. Surfer's has a growing reputation as the resort of choice for the rich and famous, and the skyline is growing too with the massive Q1 Tower dominating the landscape. But how has this uber-skyscraper effected the paradise that is Surfer's? Is it the jewel in the crown of one of the world's most exclusive resorts - or the nail in the coffin of the chilled vibe and community spirit that makes the Gold Coast unique? Presented by Keith Keaveney. Architects: The Sunland Group
