[Hamartia Antidote]

"The Chinese government has banned the construction of any buildings over 500 metres in height and called time on architectural plagiarism - here's why."

Basically, there are way too many stalled for many years, and failed skyscraper projects all around the country.

The central government then concludes: "we suck at building skyscrapers, thus, we shouldn't even try"

Skyscrapers have more disadvantages though, be it safety, traffic, infrastructure, efficiency.
You can barely find skyscrapers above 250m in Europe for those reasons.

Skyscrapers are the future! They are not trying hard enough!

A Chinese member posted how US lost the skyscraper race to China. But you are saying Chinese are not good at building skyscrapers. One of you is lying.

I think all the skyscrapers and weird designs need to be slowed down. I much prefer these as they actually have traditional cultural value:

I claim the otherwise, Skyscrapers wont be that popular in the future anymore, at least not the super tall ones just because the cost efficiency argument alone.

Skyscrapers are necessary when you need to build cities. Chinese are not a few millions of them but more than a billion. Look at New York City, just under 800 sqkm, it has a GDP of $1.5 trillion.

I wouldn't want to live in apartment buildings let alone skyscrapers. You have no garden, no outdoor space of your own.

European cities have the highest GDP per population/size without skyscrapers and also top the list of life quality too which is just as important.

Then, buy a mansion apartment of 1000m², and make a backyard in it.

Skyscrapers raise nations prestige. The more you have it, the more prestige. Nothing raises one's prestige more than a giant phallic symbol, and a status statement towering above all others

Lack of logic.
the reason that European is rich is they have industrialized much earlier than other parts of the world, and colonized other parts of the world to plunder resources.

You just summerised the Gulf mentality, who needs education, science and working justice system as long as you have skyscrapers.

And you call this logic?
