Regulations on Building Height in Your Nation

[Fsenopolis]

There ARE no regulations!

^this. people can do as they very well fucking please.

So in theory, I can build a 1000 meter tall building right next to your airport? What would it do to your air traffic?

The airport should have bought that land then.

Dear God, How much land?

Land enough to build several apartments? We have a shortage of such!

The grubby Airport needs only a little flat land around a few runways and a decet taxiway with hangars.

[Swilatia]

There aren't any.

[12 Virs]

The only regulation is our mason's skill. Our highest building, the Great Serpent Temple, is about 480 feet tall at the peak of its dome.

[Dirhamstan]

Highest building have to be named as The Sultan Mehmed ibn Al Tower. Former highest building is to be named again. No other regulations.

[The Nuclear Fist]

There is only 1 regulation:

'A building must not be so massive that it collapses under it's own weight under penalty of death and a 5000 data point fine.'

[Charlotte Ryberg]

Apart from safety legislation, local authorities in Charlotte Ryberg may impose a restriction on building height if a cultural site is nearby. Tourists may not appreciate a monstrous shadow being cast over the glass dome museum.

The capital city of Antjepolis, Istanbul, Yauna City, and other major cities are subject to green belt legislation to prevent excessive urban sprawl, although the trend is that many people are moving out to the countryside following the expansion of Stadtschnellbahn (S-Bahn) services from many cities into the fringes.

*Laughs hysterically*

The government has more important things to do than regulate building heights, which is VERY, VERY stupid in our opinions!

[Bamabam]

no regulations

[DeusII]

Most buildings have to be lower than four stories, this is so the grand imperial buildings, such as victory columns, palaces, ministries etc. can be seen from a distance.

[Augarundus]

Regulations?

Pshaw!

[Bafuria]

There are height limits around airports, lighthouses or in any areas where tall buildings would get in the way.
In other areas there are no regulations.

[Fictions]

It can be as high as the contractor likes, as long as it is safe.

[Inutoland]

Due to periodic hurricane-force winds, buildings above 5 stories in height are required to meet very exacting building safety standards.

Apart from that there are no laws per se, though an intended skyscraper to be situated next to an airport would be vanishingly unlikely to receive planning permission.

[Fsenopolis]

It can be as high as the contractor likes, as long as it is safe.

Whats the regulation on "safe" then?

[The chrisman union]

No building within the Chrisman Union may be over 500 ft, due to environmental view laws.

[Fatatatutti]

We don't have any regulations but Fatatatutians tend not to like heights, so most buildings are no taller than a tree. Elevators are still considered an oddity. Some people avoid them and some people could go up and down in them all day, just for fun.

[Atheists Led by Chris]

There is no limit, but most buildings that aren't government buildings or hospitals aren't over 2 stories.

[Astholm]

If a building is overhanging then there are specific road signs in our nation for this:

Occasionally, the sign will be in both metric and imperial, as below:

(Apologies if this seems like picspam. It is not intended to be, it is there for educational reasons).

[Eeri]

There are no specific height regulations for buildings. But all buildings are required to have lightning rods on them. Buildings over 200 feet are required to have Fixed red light Aviation Beacons.

[Rejistania]

There aren't any.

Same here. About airports: they used to be outside of the cities where land is cheap and where they could buy a wider area than they needed for their own installations. When the cities approached, the airports started renting the land and setting their own height constraints. This is not only not requiring any regulation, but a nice little profit (in Najajara kali, it is said that it is the main profit for the local airport) as well.

[Vecherd]

Airports regualtion is non-excistense as airports have enough area to fly high enough before meeting urban populatiuon. Highest building in Vecherd is 1,340 meters(4396 ft) high.

Cities with more than 1,000,000 innhabitans: 2,000 meters 6,560 ft
Cities with more than 100,000 innhabitans: 750 meters 2460 ft
Cities with more than 10,000 innhabitans: 250 meters 820 ft
Towns with more than 1,000 innhabitans: 100 meters 328 ft
Villages with more than 100 innhabitans: 25 meters 82 ft
Villages with more than 10 innhabitans: 10 meters 33 ft

"within designated urban areas henceforth referred to as hives or hive-cities, the minimum height of any fully operational building is to be 2.4 relative kloms or 1.134 miles, if the building is not fully operational or not in complyance with the height regulation, it's hight must be increased to within regulations in accordance with the protocol for priority constructionwork."
