China has stopped construction of building over 100m and for a good reason. Tall building are incredibly inefficient - you literally have to haul everything high up - water, furniture, more recently cars. Ta bigger height to width ratio, the more bottlenecked the transit systems (elevators) become. Likewise for heating, a very tall skinny building has a much larger surface area to a shorter and wider one that houses as many units, plus it has more exposure to high winds and colder temps high above. I think skyscrapers look cool, but from a practical point of view they're pointless, especially in places like Dubai, where land (plot size) is not yet an issue.
