Beirut?Cairo?Damascus?An overgrown landfill?No, this is Athens, Greece
Are those houses? Help me Haussman I'm going insane
>>221697750just rebuild after earthquake
>>221697750Greeks told me they can't build skyscrapers because of earthquakes but now they're building one anyway
>>221698726In principle you can build those things anywhere but it drives up the cost, so it's not necessarily economically worth it anymore. Like in Japan their highrises tend to have very large footprints, but over there it's probably still worth it getting a big plot of land in the middle of the city and building a giga tower despite the cost
>>221698866bretty interesting. Also pretty funny, they lift the ban and then right away someone comes in like fuck it we're doing a 200 meter tower
>>221698671VGH...Tokyo(coloured photo)
>>221699068I still think if you spammed a bunch of adverts all over Athens, people would be like that's so cool it looks like Japan

>>221699143japs have some variance in height and color. Greek buildings have mostly the same height and are all pale beige color
>>221698982it is only for the development of the old airport not whole of Athens https://youtu.be/4ioutw0TxEo
In Athens I stayed at an airbnb in Keramikos, and to the right of me it looked like some kind of Falloutesque scene with abandoned crumbling buildings but to the left of me there were posh bars and restaurants. The contrast was kino
>>221699068>>221698866>>221699143we will have Tokyo with Riviera Galleria by Kengo Kumahttps://youtu.be/0zYf1ZC0CqE
>>221697750The Tokyo of the Aegian Sea
>>221700042What's the general consensus about this building over there? To me it looks kinda silly to be honest, similar to the one in St. Petersburg that there's just randomly one single tall building
>>221699332>he's your Vaticanistan City bro>totally holy and emitting positive vibes with halal casino and hookers
>>221701594there will be like 6 tall buildings total the more vocal are communists who sheethe about tall capitalist buildings blocking the sea view https://youtu.be/7nGVD85-c7c
