To be fair the shorter ones are also pretty ugly, they just don't stand out as much.

And Manhattan has always had little space available, but in the past it seemed like buying up large properties for construction projects wasn't as hard as it is today.

Glass skyscrapers are alright, but all their design is put into the shape alone which makes them pretty boring. There's no texture or detail. It always ends up looking like a pile of shards or a glass dildo.

Meanwhile stone skyscrapers can play with materials and with details, and they also do a far better job at capturing the classical historic character of New York's architecture.

I think they've recently started constructing Brooklyn's first 1000+ft skyscraper, which is somewhere around 330 meters if I'm correct.

You can also see in the OP render that Newark seems to be getting some highrises as well.

Is there a well planned city with plenty of skyrises?

Also, pic related Dubai just turned half of their fucking city into an island, that's neat.

I don't think you can plan ahead for every scenario with a city as large as New York. Some things you can't predict and just have to work out as they arise.

I think it is being put out of proportions by self righteous redditors. Sure, Gulfies are snobs due to their wealth, but they are not as you'd say openly cuntish about it. There are cunts everywhere, and gulf isn't different. You should visit it is a very safe city, and you can drink there just fine, just don't act like a british chav on a spanish holiday and you'll be just fine.

Good point. On a side point, guflies plan to finish building pic related in just five years from now. Just how the fuck?! FREEDOM™ Tower took burgers a decade to build and they are building an entire city in five years tf!!

And that entire city will be deserted and fall apart in 20 years when the world has moved on from the oil boom, and the Arabians will turn into dirt-poor camel herders again because they've decided to build skyscrapers and islands instead of functioning public services and a diversified economy.
>>
>>77178336
That sounds reasonable, thanks m8.
>>
>>77178518
Dubai economy is like oil free by now. Five years ago it represented only 3% of their economy. Being of the rare few stable cities with good infrastructure means that lots of money and brains are going to flow into it from neighboring countries. It's like NYC of the middle east by now m8, it is too late for your oil evaporation dreams.
>>
>>77178682
>

Although UAE has the most diversified economy in the GCC, the UAE's economy remains extremely reliant on oil. With the exception of Dubai, most of the UAE is dependent on oil revenues. Petroleum and natural gas continue to play a central role in the economy, especially in Abu Dhabi. More than 85% of the UAE's economy was based on the oil exports in 2009.
A city can't carry itself independently from the rest of the country. If the rest of the UAE collapses, so will Dubai.
>>
>>77178797
>A city can't carry itself independently from the rest of the country.
It can, you see they are not cities, they are city states that agreed to have Abu Dhabi as their representative seat of government.
>>
>>77178682
I think the problem with Dubai is that, until there is massive culture changes which happen, it will always be less attractive internationally than places like NYC, Singapore, London, Tokyo, etc. Like you said, it's the "NYC of the middle east", but so long as it's viewed as a zealous radical islamist state, it'll always be somewhat handicapped for attracting people from other 1st world countries.

Also, having a literal majority of your country made of pajeet slaves does not bode well for the future. The Southern US ende up learning that the hard way (though pajeets aren't nearly as bad as basketball americans).

I think many of the things they build are horrendous to say the least. I'm just impressed by the sheer size of development in a very small amount of time. NYC took couple of centuries to become what it is now. Dubai was sand dunes a few decades ago.

I don't think anyone would praise Dubai for being a good looking city at all. But it is much more well planned than New York, that is a fact. If you read about 1980's New York, you would also find that the ugliness of that city was not limited with its strange looking buildings.
