I heard somewhere that 50 stories (so about 150m) is the tallest we can economically build, even on very valuable soil. Not sure why the bean counters allow arc

  Most of the super tall buildings are funded by the government. They symbolize success and make up a huge part of how people see a city. Similar to sports stadiums, they aren't economical on their own but they can be when placed in a wider city scale strategy.

    > Most of the super tall buildings are funded by the government This is complete and utter nonsense. You must be thinking of somewhere like Dubai? China? Nowhere in the western world is this true at all, let alone in “most” instances.
