China has restricted smaller cities in the country from building "super high-rise buildings", as part of a larger bid to crack down on vanity projects.

The country is home to some of the world's highest buildings, including Shanghai Tower, which has 128 floors.

Local reports also questioned the need for low-density cities to build skyscrapers, suggesting they were built for vanity and not practicality.

There is already an existing ban on buildings taller than 500 metres.

This statement does not justify Ghana having buildings of less than 50 meters.

You are confused, on one part you are claiming that China stopped building skyscrapers and on the other part you are saying that China is building Skyscrapers because of her huge population and limited land. So which is which?

It has scaled back, scaling back does not mean you stop.

popizaino:



So if you know for China[b], it's up and nowhere[/b] then why did you initially claimed there were abandoning going up for more social liveable cities?


You can defend why SA or waterfall doesn't want to build higher without bringing China who is literally obsessed with skyscrapers into it.

Thats because in time things evolve

That's why many African countries will never be developed because they are chasing, what the developed are abandoning.

When the developed world is building sustainable cities, green cities, eco friendly cities, smart cities..... Some African countries are adopting what the developed world has realized is not good.

I.e skyscrapers,... Even

Despite being one of the most developed, densely populated and economically prosperous continents, Europe has surprisingly few skyscrapers, particularly when compared to Asia and North America.

Of the 218 skyscrapers constructed on the continent to date, 66% of them are located in just five cities – London, Paris, Frankfurt, Moscow and Istanbul

I can tell you now skyscrapers sites not make economic sense. Yes in 20th century but not in 21st century.

Countries are sampling work at home regime,... You know what that means?

I've seen many skyscrapers/high rise buildings.

That was 20th century game between powerful nations fight for suprimacy, cos then having the tallest building was a will over others not in 21st century.

world leaders have seen the light but some are chasing 20th century relics

Which leaders are chasing relics? If a private or public entity see the need to erect a skyscraper, how can the president/government interfere with such a project? That's despotism.

Isn't it odd that some developers come to do projects that are no longer being done world wide, I believe governments sets direction on what kinda developments it needs in the country

You are just jumping from pillar to post. Stay one place. If I show you how the Germans are planning on building the urban shelves for the future which has decently highrise buildings in them you will begin to say a different thing entirely.

Keep quoting from blog and passing them down as your comment. Your subtle attempt to validate why Ghana does not have skycraper will not sell here. The European you eager to copy has skyscraper in their capitals now tell us what percentage of skyscrapers built in Africa can be found in Accra?

@bolded, yes it *does not justify Ghana* but there's also no law binding all countries to build skyscrapers..

Did he?
Was he talking about Ghana and Accra?

It's obvious you are the one jumping from one point to the other...
They were arguing about Lanseria and EAC. And he was explaining to your people as to why Lanseria have more short rise buildings and why he thinks short rise buildings is the way to go and it's the modern trend for building a new city..

What has this got to do with Ghana and Accra? Mad people everywhere
