Many european cities max out at 8 stories simply because they were built before the advent of elevators, or the design aesthetic started before the elevator and they're keeping new neighborhoods consistent.
4 floors is mildly inconvenient on foot but 8 floors is becoming a real chore for people over 40.
- ido 7y agoAlmost no buildings beyond 4 floors (5 the way Americans count them) lack elevators in Germany or Austria at least. I suspect it's the same elsewhere in Europe.
