only a few major cities, such as Frankfurt, London, Paris, Istanbul and Moscow contains skyscrapers ( with great economic power )



Most European cities don't build even new buildings , Most European lives in old buildings

Why don't European countries bulldoze the old buildings and replace them with new modern ones ?

Because they care about their past

You can also add Frankfurt in this list as well.
But most of the EU cities lack skyscrapers to keep the natural landscape intact. To see skyscrapers they go to USA, Dubai, Singapore and China but they don't wants these concrete towers in their own cities.

or because they have no money to build new buildings ( most of european cities have small economy )

and I am talking about new buildings , not skyscrapers
Most Europeans lives in old building including Germany,France,Italy,Belgium

One in six Europeans equivalent to the entire population of Germany live in a damp or mouldy building, which increases their chances of getting illnesses such as asthma

Europeans living in an unhealthy building with a leaking roof, walls or foundations


a white paper from the German research institute Fraunhofer documents serious health problems related to damp and unhealthy indoor climate affecting 80 million Europeans

You can also add Frankfurt in this list as well.

Millenium Tower.... all paper work done and ground owner has premission to build a 369m building, 2018 they started to demolish the old buildings on the planed gound... unclear how high the final tower will be, most likely "only" 200m

Hochhauskomplex Mainzer Landstraße ... 197m, a bank has bought mid 2018 the ground fo the planed skyscraper, they already have premission to build, unclear the start point of construction could be with ina vew months or several years.

Hochhaus auf dem ehemaligen Polizeipräsidium problem is that the construction of a new underground subway it may be possible that the ground is not able to carry a skyscraper at the moment it get investigated.

As if having a lot of scyscrapers was something to be proud about or a show of strenght. They destroy the landscape of a city,its architechture,are ugly and soulless.

In general, only very large cities have the resources to build and support extremely tall buildings

With the explosion of urbanization around the world and developing economies asserting themselves in high profile ways, the stage is set for a global skyscraper boom


2017-2018 7 buildings over 200m opened in Istanbul and more 2 until 2020

in my opinion its not so bad

 

[Baybars Han]

building skyscrapers in Istanbul is disgusting. A city that pisses on all those other cities with its great past while its being ruined.
