JAMES HOWARD KUNSTLER AND NIKOS A. SALINGAROS WRITE:

” We are convinced that the age of skyscrapers is at an end. It must now be considered an experimental building typology that has failed. Who will ever again feel safe and comfortable working 110 stories above the ground? Or sixty stories? Or even twenty-seven?

“We predict that no new megatowers will be built, and existing ones are destined to be dismantled. This will lead to a radical transformation of city centers–which, however, would be an immensely positive step towards improving the quality of urban life.”
