The thread originally only shows skycrapers around the world, not good or bad to have them, jealous Americans misled this thread down this path. Actually they were the first ones to build skyscrapers and bragged about them for a century untill being overtaken.

No, we abandoned building up cities due to suburbanization while you are transforming villages into built up cities due to urbanization. It's a concept you simply can't comprehend. You can easily comprehend people moving out of their simple village housing into modern high rises but you simply can't grasp the concept of people moving out of high rises and back into single family housing.

You are simply 75 years behind us and don't realize it. China laughed at cars in the 1950 as a capitalistic waste and now you fully embrace them. Soon you will be embracing suburbanization...but the Chinese Government has limited your freedom to do it.

Let's ask your supa-dupa AI what the truth is:

Skyscrapers are not residential highrises, none of the top skyscrapers listed in the chart are for people to live in them.
And you are still number 2 in the chart, not zero, don't be so upset.
