skyscraperMania

as we know our big cities all over the world are rapidly being occupied with crazy skyscrapers. It is reasonable due to booming land prices and dense central spaces. But this trend ("marketing the city") with impressive designs of StArchitects, has also took the attention of smaller towns; in words to be more "popular" & "attracting more investments"! Do we really need this structures? or are these somehow pretending buildings? I am not agree with most of tall buildings' existence. Besides, they are neighter being accepted by users nor by inhabitants. So what are they serving for ?.... of course my words are for out of necessary ones ;)
