Baffled by the onward march of skyscrapersArchived Message

Can someone explain to me the reason (apart from naked greed) why multi-storey buildings in our major cities are on the increase? Just today I see reported in the Evening Standard that permission has just been granted for "one of the tallest buildings in the capital" to go ahead. I live near Manchester and the tallest building in the city is being built, or has been finished, and there are plans for several more.
Any city planners out there who can enlighten my darkness?
