Washington, D.C. is a planned city. In 1791, Pierre L'Enfant drew up basic plan modeled in Baroque style, which incorporated broad avenues radiating out from traffic circles, providing maximum open space and landscaping. However, at the start of the 20th century L'Enfant's vision of a capital with open parks and grand national monuments become marred by slums and randomly placed buildings, including a railroad station at the National Mall. In 1900, Congress formed a joint committee, headed by James McMillan, charged with beautifying Washingtons ceremonial core. What became known as the McMillan Plan finalized in 1901, and included the re landscaping of the Capitol grounds and Mall, constructing new Federal buildings,monuments, clearing slums, and establishing a new citywide park system. Architects recruited by committee kept the city's original layout, and their work is thought to be the grand completion of L'Enfant's intended design.

The Lincoln Memorial, Washington Monument, and U.S. Capitol at nightAfter the construction of the twelve-story Cairo Apartment Building in 1899, Congress passed the Heights of Buildings Act, which declared that no building could be taller than the Capitol. The Act was amended in 1910 to restrict building height to the width of the adjacent street plus 20 feet (6.1 m). Today the skyline remains low and sprawling, in keeping with Thomas Jefferson's wishes to make Washington an "American Paris" with "low and convenient" buildings on "light and airy" streets. As a result, the Washington Monument remains the District's tallest structure. However, Washington's height restriction has been assailed as a primary reason why the city has limited affordable housing and traffic problems as a result of urban sprawl. To escape the District's height restriction, taller buildings close to downtown are often constructed across the Potomac River in Rosslyn, Virginia.
