      I totally noticed that! I love the harmony with nature of many of these buildings. It is a refreshing change from the old, sterile modern buildings from before that tried to be separate from nature. This new style is a new addition to the traditional architecture with ornate buildings with gargoyles on the sides, and the art deco style.

      No surprise to any Torontonian that the construction schedule is lagging behind. Nothing gets built in Toronto on time, or on budget.
      The Eglington Crosstown Subway began construction in 2011 with a scheduled completion and operation by 2020. It's now 2024 and the builder, Metrolinx, will not provide an updated expected completion date. The project was originally budgeted at $11 billion dollars, but has currently reached $12.81 Billion dollars and it is now estimated to add $1 Billion dollars more, before completion.

    Portland, Oregon, US here~ A supertall here? Ohthankyounothankyou! That's why we get all of our other buddies on the west coast to build those silly vanity projects. I'm totally on board with all the high tech thinking as well as design, but for what purpose? Its use is the justification to build so high they could screw up flight patterns. Y'all get the point, and I'm a "Git off my lawn" kinda guy. I'm already sick of this whole stacked block that might fall over motif. It is interesting and one or two in the world would suffice. Frank Gehry's work, however, is exciting! It's fresh, it is an incredible example of tomorrow which no other of these supertalls possess. The Chrystler Building, perhaps could be an analogy in this sense. Neither building needs what makes them beautiful, but to make something beautiful that is part of the building's functionality is what makes a modern building modern way after we are all dust.
    Great show! I love how you can make me excited about what we are doing now and how it will shape the future. It's heady stuff!

      I don't think earth quake is the main reason. Its ultimately down to pricing power of land. Downtown LA is highly neglected - most rich live in the suburbs and like a typical sun belt city - LA is built for sprawl and cars - while cities New York Chicago and Toronto are downtown centric - where central business districts are thriving with businesses and residential living. Tell me who wants to live or visit downtown LA ? No one - hence no premium to pricing. LA downtown probably don't have 1/5 population of downtown Chicago.

      Whether Mexico is in the east, in the center or in the south, that doesn't really matter, as long as Mexico is a prosperous country, or what? Do many Mexicans believe they are Americans? Is it so that they are greatly influenced by the connotations of grandeur that the United States has given to the label "North America"?

      Because America is not the explicit name referring to the USA. However, it does imply North and South America. Another problem with that, however, is that Mexico is also part of North America. Regardless, his title is wrong, and it should be North America's future skyscrapers.

But "Monterrey" (with two "r"s) is the city in Mexico to which you referred. The problem is that you pronounced it like the city in California. Next time, ROLL THE R.

    Super tall skyscrapers are pretty and shiny. But who are they targeting with their spaces? New York is in dire straits across all sectors at the moment. You can build all the super talls you want, if you cannot guarantee everyday folks a place, and only cater to the super rich, then why bother?? How many middle class or poorer tax bracket folks would be able to afford to live in any of the supers you discussed in this video?? Such a shame developers only think about the rich, and not the regular residents of these various cities.
