More skyscrapers in German cities?
With the exception of Frankfurt, German cities are very flat in terms of building heights. Skyscrapers are nowhere to be found, unlike in American or Chinese cities. There are, of course, reasons for this, such as the preservation of historic cityscapes dominated by church steeples, domes, or town halls. Often, the political will to do so is lacking, or it is simply due to a general rejection of ambitious large-scale projects.
How do you see this?
Can high-rise buildings reduce the lack of space in big cities for the common good?

The total number of so-called skyscrapers is likely to be relatively low worldwide, with the total volume of construction. You build things mainly at very high land prices when you want to get a maximum. From a certain height, things become uneconomic, as the technical effort for construction, for heating, cooling, water supply, fire protection becomes enormous. You need good paying clientele for it. However, if correctly calculated, they are among the safest buildings. In conurbation areas, the lack of space sometimes leads to a need for it. There's something famous here, of course. In addition, it should be taken into account that the service life of the buildings does not last forever. I guess 200 years. It's only 100 years ago that really high skyscrapers are built. At some point you have to put them back in the street canyons to create something new. This will be enormously expensive and costly.
Skyscrapers often conceal historically grown cities. If, then they should be grouped separately and together.
High-rise buildings are not very popular in Germany. Mostly there is an anonymity among the residents and the sociable Germans do not love it.
Come on to the high house. Some accept other disadvantages for the magnificent view. There are high-rise buildings that you almost no longer have to leave because doctor's practices, shops, daycare centers, locals, cafes, etc., are inside.
From a certain height, skyscrapers become uneconomical. In some countries (eg Saudi Arabia), you do this because probably the tail in the pants is too small.
Fire protection is also such a topic as well as the complete water supply. Pump drinking water for a few hundred people 500 m high!
I find the Burj Khalifa monstrous and ugly.
I find the construction order here in Germany very good, so that it is not as usual in other countries, only as skyscrapers.
This has not only to do with construction regulations..but by these are building-technical elevations in this country of course more expensive than elsewhere!
Houses In general, much more should be built. Living space becomes scarce and real estate sharks drive prices upwards.
With the strong overpopulation, it cannot work that everyone has their own house. Especially since the cuisine is the absolute catastrophe when a house is built for each individual family / or Living in a home.
High-rise buildings are great as they accommodate many people in little space. And in terms of energy, it is also a more efficient housing model than its own house.
The future of living will have to go that more people live in high-rise buildings. It doesn't bother me. Living in one. It's worth it just because of the view. I can see miles from my balcony. 😊
Yes, historical city silhouettes are far less concealed than infused. A little metropolis flair can't hurt a city, you can see it at Frankfurt or Paris.
I don't think so.
