Impressive are the conclusions of Limassol’s comparison with its "parallel cities". As comes out of the findings of the participatory, research project of Antonis Stylianou and Andreas Papalla, the architects who wanted to explore the image and prospects of Limassol, as a city with fast growth rates in this area the city manages to stand out among large cities of Europe and the wider region.

As noted, the waterfront was the scene of this "urban renewal" having high quality natural features that were attractive to investors. With the completion of a series of tower projects, Limassol’s 180.000 population will have 14 tower projects with a combined height (TCH) of 1703 meters.

In context, this will place Limassol above many European cities and citiea of the surrounding area, among which are Berlin (population: 3.5 million, TCH: 1099), Beirut (population: 361.000, TCH: 1285), and Vienna (population: 1,7 million, TCH: 1349).
