520			_aLooks at the lessons learnt from the September 2001 terrorist attacks for the design of tall buildings around the world. Points out that there were many questions surrounding the collapse of the twin towers in New York especially concerning their design that led to their dramatic collapse. Discusses the new Barclays' 33 storey headquarters in Canary Wharf whose design was adapted to take on board the latest safety developments. Also notes that there has been a steady improvement in the last three years in the ability for buildings to withstand fires, and industry led reform has changed the way fire safety is approached. An increasingly important consideration is the effect on security and insurance for tall buildings against biological or chemical attacks by terrorists.
