  1. I'm a mix of the two in that I like modern high rise buildings but also like a lot of historical buildings and personally, I find less high rise buildings to be more pleasing on the eye then having buildings towering over us. In the case of Asia, many regions need higher rise buildings because of the population growth, in the case of the US, it was seen as a symbol of power and that is likely the case else ware when it comes to high rise buildings. In Europe, we don't seem to have any of those issues as much, at least not yet, world war two changed attitudes in Europe to become less arrogance on the world stage and population growth is stable enough that high rise buildings are not really needed, in the case of the US and countless other developing countries of the past, they wanted to project power to others, Europe didn't really have that problems as they've been the centre of power for a long time and even today are still modern. A lot of that could change over the coming decades for some regions but for now, I think Europeans are quite happy with how things are and I don't blame them, it's more pleasing to the eye. I will say one thing, there is a fine line in what is considers historical and I do feel that too many buildings in Europe are considered that which makes it harder for new development to happen, I suspect that will have to change at some point. Anyway, the funny thing is, as a kid, I used to love high rise buildings and cities like New York until I lived there for awhile and with that, I started to realise that living in cities with a lot of high rise buildings isn't really a nice place to live and I realised that even more when moving back to Europe, I don't know why but I felt more happier for it, in other words, it's nice to visit areas where there is a lot of high rise buildings but I sure don't want to live in those areas.
