concrete towers
Gray city sentinels
Concrete towers are tall structures built from concrete, typically for industrial, infrastructural, or utilitarian purposes: cooling towers at power plants, water towers, transmission towers, or the stark residential high-rises of mid-20th-century urban planning.
The phrase often carries connotations of brutalist architecture or cold modernism: The skyline was dominated by concrete towers.
