I see a clear difference in architecture. Olden and historical architecture is far better. Has much more detail different patterns and elegance. Modern build are more flat and blend. If it's not blend modern architecture they come up with weird shapes and often loads of glass. When they ran out of ideas. They paint the flat wall. Where as in old budlings you see different colours because of the different material they used. But I admit as a child if I saw a really tall budling. I would be like wow thats tall must be important. But if you have loads of them makes it that much less impressive.

If only Manila can start over. Everything’s just filled with concrete and polluted rivers without much to freely breathe in. Parks are lacking, and there's just little to no proper urban planning. There's BGC, Makati CBD, and Eastwood, which are nice places, but they're just very small areas of Metro Manila. It's just bad for my lungs but all the jobs are here.

Well it's a bit more complicated than this though. As the Old Town is on the Unesco Heritage Site list no skyscrapers should be seen from the Old Town. That's one of the rules. The natural light is the other when it comes to high-rise buildings in Poland. They mustn't block the natural light and the sunlight from residential buildings. The "covering" of the Palace of Culture and Science (PEKiN as Polish call it, which by the way is pronounced the same as Beijing in Polish) is more of an urban legend these days. There were plans to surround this building by other, taller, more modern skyscrapers but that recently has been abandoned as the city of Warsaw decided to build the museum of modern art (25 metres in height) in front of the palace. The city is transforming with a quite daring plans to turn about 30% of its public space into green spaces. In my own opinion Warsaw is heading in the right direction. All modern cities should focus on this. Skyscrapers should be built with the principle of saving land for the better use. It's not about the status anymore :)

So why would european mayors destroy their beautifull cities skyline and views, just for something europeans live with for thousands of years.

The 50 to 80s buildings are ugly. Yes. But Frankfurt and the Berlin skyscrapers are beautiful

Berlin has no skyscraper

@@KEJALBAB well the taller buildings above 100m. I know they r no skyscrapers

Its funny an american makes some end rant about lobying being the problem while every europian in the comments simply doesnt like skyscrapers

@TheComengSpotter575 Fine, that's your opinion. I stated mine in my comment.

@TheComengSpotter575 Yeah, and they are easier to hit with airplanes, just ask the New Yorkers...

@TheComengSpotter575 skyscrapers are just ugly big building that light up at night, no history, no meaning. Just tall ugly building

Don't know about skyscrapers but my country could use some 5 lane roads.

Some MORE 5 lane roads I meant.

Better than 1 road and tiny houses

@@lautheimpaler4686 well a few of them but the USA has too much of that. uglyness in cities. Need them only outside of cities.

it was considered a massive eyesore at first

Love the story! The tower is definitely historic, a testament to the strength and versatility of wrought iron as a building material, but let's face it.., just as the critics of the day were constantly pointing out, it's quite ugly. Marketing propaganda is still used against anyone willing to make such a statement. Another example of "The Emperor's New Clothes" syndrome. France is world renowned for its art.., so -- How could anything French be ugly? -- is the common question asked of people that don't agree. A stupid argument, if you ask me. But! You aren't, and I don't care.

@@johnlshilling1446 Ugly? What the fuck are you talking about, it is aesthetically perfect, radial symmetric, and above all dominant while not vulgar.

That is Guy the Mopassant

@@viniciusmagnoni6492 it's a pylon

maybe the city should demolish it.

There’s space between skyscrapers…

its the same than living in London

@@urbanistgod So you love watching streets?

@@hanspeter1078 Aren’t you watching streets when you live in a normal not very high building ?

They put officies and shop there

Yep, it was pretty misleading. Most of the skyscrapers are not even residential buildings, they are office buildings.

The point is that having more accommodations overall lowers the rents on average (supply and demand).

@@user-ly1fk9kk9d I guess he meant office rent?

It's not...increase in building density & numbers of humans in one specific area will prop up the rent.. a scheme to juice their wallet all together.. instead of juicing few of them at a time on a single plot of land.. with skyscraper hundreds ,thousands at a time..the modern milking machine..

Skyscraper cost shit load of money to build that why most of them are office building since big company can afford them. The only so few that have housing unit are expansive too and most likely only the upper middle class and above can afford to live in them. Europe's population is also more evenly spread out than in North America. NYC have next to 1/2 of the state's population, NYC metro (I know it's cross nearby state but still) have about the same population of NY state ; Chicago's metro area have 2/3 of Illinois's population ; Houston & LA's metro both have 1/4 the population of their respective state (Texas & California). Toronto, Montreal & Vancouver Canada have about 1/2 of their province's population, these 3 cities alone have more than 1/3 of the country's population. In comparison Paris and London have about 1/5 of France & UK's population; Madrid have 1/6 of Spain ; Madrid 1/15, Moscow 1/5 etc.

@@epg96 Some european cities exist longer than many countries, and they still stand to this day. Earthquakes don't happen randomly across the world. Some places get many earthquakes and some get none, Europe gets none.

@@epg96 Turkey and Greece aren't the Europe I'm talking about, by Europe I meant Germany, the Netherlands, France and so on. Turkey always gets hit by earthquakes, it's nothing new......

Italy gets hit by earthquakes once in a while aswell but not as frequently

Turkey is not even in Europe lol

It depends on the city. Some cities have a mix of nature and urban

? IMO they are always brighter, because skyscrapers are normally covered by glass, and they reflect sunlight. UK countryside are the darkest places on the planet.

@@hanabisenju9051 That's because of the weather, not because of the lack of glass surfaces

@@MatmoeLP Yes I complain about UK countryside weather whenever I have slight chance. But the glass surface factor is major imo, it's just simple physics.

In Sydney, if gives us a good shade from that menacing sun.

@Uncle Pete not always but most if the time new is better

@@TonyMontana-fs3lu no, not really. old is still standing, how is that not better than new?

@@gurupilates Just because a part of a structure is standing after 1k years, doesn't mean it's better than the new stuff with better materials. 1) The ancient structures that survived, did so because they haven't experienced as much wear and tear as the ones that did not, and had undergone conservation efforts, the only roman roads that exist today are the ones that were hardly used, just a few months of highway traffic would've destroyed them to the point of looking like a dirt path, there's no guarantee that you'd be able to tell there was ever a roman cobbled road there. The buildings that survived are the ones that had extremely bulky structure (by modern standards) The only exception are buildings that were under intensive and extensive conservation for centuries, like Notre Dame, which burned up, recently, due to dry wood accumulated during those conservation efforts. (most of which were pre-modern) If the ancients were to subject their buildings to the same strain as we do ours, they'd be piles of indiscernible rubble after decades. 2) There's more to the quality of an object than just durability, and modern is just more comfortable, cost effective and safer. -Cars are a great example, since they've progressed much faster than buildings, cars in the 50' would likely kill you in a 40km/h (relative) crash, while we now have people routinely surviving crashes in excess of 100km/h. -Today we can build buildings that put the Colosseum to shame with their size, without the need for multiple decades of working milions of slaves to death. -Today's buildings are much more comfortable than anything anyone but the top 0.0001% lived in centuries ago.

@@My_initials_are_O.G.cuz_I_am i live in a house from the 12th century, I just don't agree with you. The US has nothing older than some 200 years anyways . It is not about building things "that put the Colosseum to shame", it's about culture existing before in whichever century in Europe, when the US wasn't even an idea.

@@cyanoticspore6785 Yeah I know he explained that and he made it clear they designed the city in a way that the skyscraper Wouldn’t block the view for many of the national historic sites.

Washington DC has Skyscrapers and tall buildings.

@@Passportbros8 sure if you consider 200ft (60m) a skyscraper

Skyscrapers are really some rich guy's wet dream of being the tallest whatever bullshhht. and also a money maker . Nothing to do with quality of life or beauty. it's all about silly perceived status and it's ridiculous and fake. People who move there are into that too. usually people who are real wannabes. wanna be rich or think it's high quality or something. Couldn't be further from the truth. It's a scam by the building owners.

Ah oe?? Ils l’ont fait dans quelle commune?

As a fellow belguimer i agree

Just build it on the stupid football fields. There are to much of them in Belgium

Or they could at least build them so they look pretty. Imagine a skyscraper build in Gothic architecture style or Rococo... I think people wouldn't complain about them as much if the new buildings would just match the old ones xD

@@IsleNaK true. but only go 7 stories. 12 at most. maybe a few towers like castle towers attached.

Same happens in Cordoba, Spain. They have the Mosque (now Cathedral) which dates from as far as the 10th Century, so they make sure you can see it on the city skyline.
