Groundscrapers in your city

I personally think London must be the "groundscraper capital of the world". We have absolutely massive amounts of floorspace -
and over 300,000 people in the finance sector - but the vast majority of buildings are only 10-15 storeys tall. They all seem to have
big floorplates but very little height. There are only 2 proper skyscrapers in the City - Tower 42 and SwissRe.

Of course, there are several new skyscrapers planned. But at the same time, an increasing number of groundscrapers, which threaten
to drown the taller buildings and reduce their "soar factor". A number of church spires and other historic low-rise buildings are
also being overwhelmed. I'm getting really tired of this!

Canary Wharf doesn't have quite the same problem as the City, but it does have groundscrapers, and a lot of the architecture is bland.

Anyway - I'd be interested to hear about other cities and their groundscrapers, and whether there are similar problems to London.
