This is Paris:
Have you noticed anything unusual on the horizon?
This is Vienna:
It is not a city known for having many tall buildings.
Most European capitals have a skyscraper or two (or fifty). The thing is, Europeans tend to see skyscrapers as buildings with a specific function, not just something to be proud of simply because they can say, “My country has more skyscrapers than yours.”
For Europeans, skyscrapers are particularly pleasing to the eye. We build them when necessary; and if not, we build other types of buildings. A towering skyscraper is an achievement, or at least it was a century ago, but nowadays they seem boring, not to say aesthetically unappealing.
Europe has much more beautiful buildings, and they prefer them to skyscrapers. It's a cultural thing.
This “skyscraper” is very cute
