Something to do with the ground. The american ground is much more solid and hard. Easier to build skyscrapers on.

European cities were destroyed over and over again via 2 world wars.

American cities just built around a point and never stopped growing.

Wouldn't a European city with a similar pop. have more buildings? We tend to build out instead of up.

too many ghettos

Could you prove your point or is it another shit thread full of bait, insults and stereotypes?

Paris is a bad example there are 300km of tunnels underground that prevent from building too heavy

Some were, a lot weren't even touched

yuros are poorer

because we live in apartments (in cities)

>>60498904
Because there is faggots who don't want to "denaturate the classical landscape".

most european cities are cramped due to lack of space (uk, belgium, netherlands etc)

american cities can expand by 10 times and not be near any other city

liverpool and manchester are practically touching,
