How safe are city centre flats?

City centre residential buildings, like the one in Nottingham, are subject to strict building regulations designed to ensure fire safety, including requirements for fire alarms, escape routes, and materials. These regulations are regularly reviewed and updated, often in response to significant incidents, to enhance safety for residents in densely populated areas.
