From London where we do let skyscrapers intermingle with heritage. But from a European perspective it's not that we hide these buildings away it's more a case of why knock down beloved architecture when you've got a deprived neighbourhood or brownfield site where regeneration projects and decentralised business opportunities can be of great benefit to the population. And also as you alluded to it keeps the 'old' city pretty for tourists and for recreation.

Not sure how people define "skyscraper". I grew up in a 10-floor building in eastern Europe, and my street has 100+ such buildings. The building is well made, with thick walls, big apartments, central heating and an underground storage space. Only thing we cry for is an underground garage. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone! There are so many advantages over a house. Because of the population density, every shop you imagine is in the neighborhood. a small hospital, police station etc...

The Tour Triangle is an absolute eye sore. It is super slim along one axes and just a fat pyramide along the other. All the unsustainable badly designed full glass facade isn't going to save the overall impression either. Regarding highest towers, NYC is not competing there anymore because the highest towers make no functional sense anymore, not at all. They are possible, yes but the are form over function. It is just prestige as those super high towers are highly inefficient. They are not built because they make sense or because of dense urbanity, as early high rises were and high rises up to or around 200 meters might be to this day.

skyscrapers are pretty from afar but when you get up close the scale is overwhelming. also imo they are an economic inequality vector because only a rich elite can actually use them and they concentrate the bulk of economic activity in a small and exclusive area.

Not sure I'd say the skyscrapers in London are hidden away. It's just that their in the City of London which is the financial district and a totally different district miles from parliament/Big Ben although quite close to St Paul's. As someone else pointed out where it might seem hidden away in London's example is Canary Wharf our 2nd skyline because it was decided it would be great to build on brownfield land in the former docklands instead of demolish listed buildings. Sometimes in films there the Paris effect where the film makers focus on an old landmark all the time. For Paris it's the Eiffel Tower, London is Big Ben and Moscow is the Kremlin but all have major clusters of skyscrapers like LA.

Number of 150 m/492 ft skyscrapers by city in Europe (Completed & Topped Out) Istanbul = ≈80 - 90 (Partly located in Asia 8 x 200m+) Moscow = 58 (including 7 supertalls & 10 x 200m+) London = 30 (1 supertall & 10 x 200m+) Paris/La Defence = 21 (2 x 200m+) Frankfurt/Main = 17 (5 x 200m+) Warsaw = 10 (3 x 200m+) Madrid = 6 (4 x 200m+) Milan = 5 (2 x 200m+) Rotterdam = 5 Manchester = 4 (1 x 200m+) Vienna = 3 (1 x 200m+) Yekaterinburg = 3 (1 x 200m+) Benidorm = 3 Lyon = 2 (1 x 200m+) Turin = 2 (1 x 200m+) Basel = 2 (1 x 200m) Barcelona = 2 Wrocław = 1 (1 x 200m+) Gdańsk = 1 Kyiv = 1 Sevilla =1 Bilbao = 1 Malmö = 1 Bonn = 1 Amsterdam = 1 Brussels = 1 There are also more and more new cities that are building 200 m tall skyscrapers for the first time. Gothenburg & Hamburg build 245m, Rotterdam 215m, Basel 205m, Sofia 202m. Manchester has recently moved up into this league. You see, there is more than enough development on the European continent.

Very interesting video! One important missing aspect/inconvenience of skyscrapers, especially in old cities: traffic. Packing tens of thousand people in a very small footprint creates a very concentrated need for transportation. We'll see how easily skyscrapers can be approved after Elon's tunnels are all over the place, in a few decades. Well, those of us who will still be alive by then. Maybe by then, they will start to make them with huge underground facilities too?

Europeans and even Americans are just coping now that they're unable to build better skyscrapers among other infrastructure. Plenty of countries have old landmarks, so they're not that unique to the West, and it doesn't represent entire European cities which have been destroyed a lot by fires, wars, and renovations in the last few hundred years, despite the stereotype that they've remained entirely preserved since ancient or medieval times.
