We (Germany) did not want to have skyscrapers because they look plug-ugly! After the bombing raids of World War Two the city administrations decided to restore the old buildings and not to build "new" cities on top of the ruins.
Or just imagine a city like Rome with brand new skyscrapers made of glass and steal. That would be awful.
