So am I. My thought is that skyscrapers represent the last physical investment of a society that no longer knows what a worthwhile investment is. There's a critique of sky scrapers here The development of London is piecemeal and ugly. There's no need for other cities to emulate this stupidity. Paris , Madrid and other European cities provides an alternative that is efficient, humane and sustainable. There's no recycling of a skyscraper, just dynamite and a massive crash, and thousands of tonnes dust and debris. We will not be rich enough very soon to sustain these buildings any longer. [url=
