Leeds is the largest city in Yorkshire with a population of 536,280. It is considered the financial, commercial, and cultural heart of the West Yorkshire Built-up Area, the fourth largest urban area in the United Kingdom, with a population of over 1.7 million. Tall buildings are relatively new to Leeds' history, with the majority of high-rises built after 2000. Many of Leeds' high-rises are coloured in red, a nod to the city's architectural style of red brick buildings.
