Skyscrapers per million people:USA: 2.72China: 2.5Canada: 4.5Australia: 6.1Japan: 2.32UAE: 31Malaysia: 9.6Russia: .45UK: .79France: .39Germany: .25Italy: .14Poland: .59Spain: .26why does europe have so few? don't they know that skyscrapers are cool?
>>220795662absurd regulations. you couldn't build them in london until like 25 years ago.
because we have old town centers and skyscrapers wouldnt fit in and look stupid. We have skyscrapers in Europe but they have a bad reputation because they were built as commie blocks in eastern Europe, they are grey and look brutal.But skyscrapers can look pretty cool with the right paintjob and setting. Like in Brazil Curitiba those skyscrapers look nice, with palms in front and the sun is shining. But in most parts of Europe skyscrapers simply dont fit into the landscape , it would look stupid and abnormal
>>220795662ignoring the fact that they look like shit, they have to adpt modern with old, not an easy task so they build them small when they have to.
>>220795662Skyscrapers is an overrated shit.
>>220795936>because we have old town centers and skyscrapers wouldnt fit in and look stupid. kekIt's like Gazprom built its own skyscraper in some village near the borders of Saint-Petersburg.
>>220796456VGH... City 17, homeIs it even occupied? I remember some Russianon explaining some time ago how oligarchs are building huge buildings like that, but don't rent them out or anything
>>220796604>Is it even occupied? IThere's supposed to be the head office of Gazprom. But I don't know for real.
>>220795807never should've lifted that place's a complete shithole now, I would know I've lived in one most of my life
>>2207956621) Regulations and preservation of the old cities2) High density urban housing still exists but they just aren't as tall3) they mainly look like shit4) they are often partly empty and unused
>beautiful dacha-esque cabin houses all around it>see this Now I know where all the Gazprom bureaucrats in that village might live, @Ukraine target this
>>220797038>frankfurt.jpglook how they massacred my boy.
>>220796456kek why
>>220795662Funding issues and NEEBA attitude (Never, ever build anything).
>>220795662That shit ugly as fuck
>>220795662They're kinda pointless in most places.
>>220797070Forgot the screenshot like a buffoon
>>220795662>UAE: 31lmao
>>220797500it would be even higher if you counted just citizens and not that millions of guest workers
>>220796456i didn't know that russia was invader by the combine
>>220797038that shit looks like atlanta
>>220797204The city is growing, so they've probably hoped it will become a new remote developed district, idk.
>>220795662My general impression is that people really don't like skyscrapers here. Personally I find them cool. We almost got one but it is 5 meters short of what is generally accepted as a skyscraper. You can see it in the very beginning of this video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PK8lVe7eHhE
>>220797520>guest workersThat's elegant, we should have used it back in the days.
>>220795662Vancouver is an ugly drug addled shithole. The whole cope of the city is the mountains in the background and you can't even see the mountains now with the condo buildings.
>>220799869kek yes they are basically slaves
>>220796456Vgh, Slav-fvtvrism
The housing crisis all over Europe would be fixed immediately if they lifted a fuckton of regulations and just built a bunch of buildings
>>220803984How would you explain the housing crisis and the housing prices here then?
>>220795662looks like shit
I think Rome should have more skyscrapers
tacky plastic papertower that fall down if anything bigger than a bird flies into ityou should know that well
>>220803984Generaly they are office towers, in the rare cases where they're used for housing it's for richfags anyway.
